Thank you...

...for your numerous messages on and off this blog! It's such a warm feeling to get in contact with you all again, thanks so much for your comments :) I've already sent many late e-mails out, some still wait in the queue :) Today was a bit windy here though sunny and I don't have much work for Monday, so I am sitting at my laptop most of the day and catching up... Watch this space this week-end :)
PETRA - I had a big broad smile when I read your comment :) Actually I had told H. to have his camera ready for when I exit to the arrival hall. Even my aunt kept telling me I am trying to do Mission Impossible. With 3 pieces of luggage and 2 transporters with pets, I wondered myself. What the picture doesn't show well is that one of the suitcases is huge, the other not so enormous, plus hand-luggage and Happy's transporter biiiig. I chose a bigger model than I had to wen I bought it last year because I wanted him to have loads of space inside. I decided not to stress though, chose a very early flight when I had to be at the airport at 5 am (!!!) because I figured there wouldn't be many planes cheking out and that - most importantly - whatever I do, however I behave, whatever ridiculous I and it might all look - at 5 am most people try to fight sleepy eyes and simply won't care. True! I didn't stress too much but I must say that if not for a wonderful family (a father with 3 grown-up daughters) it would have been much harder. They offered to help, carried my luggage, helped at the x-ray stand (pets had to be taken out, their transporters x-rayed and then put again in) etc. I was sooo thankful.
When it comes to photos from here, I'm afraid they might be very local this summer. Money is on the low side and we have tons of expenses related to works in and around the house, so we might not move much from home except for trips in the nature around. We've travelled so much and I've seen most of Norway already, which is not nothing if you look at its lenght and of course I LOVE to see, experience and discover, but it might be so that I won't have that many spectacular pictures to share this time. I realize that people expect to see perfect beauty and fjords when they hear 'Norway'...
SHARON - I am not 'back' LOL, I am here till late August or early September :) And I am so enjoying being here.
