It's my first full day in Denmark and boy, am I bagged. I guess being up for almost 48 hours has something to do with it.
Usually I am able to beat jetlag by staying up to a decent bedtime in the new location. Not this time. Even after a decent seven hour sleep last night, I'm already hitting the wall. And it's just lunch time.
The good thing is that the trip to Romania isn't until Friday... so I have some time to get the body clock reset.
On another note: I see HBO is premiering a film about the recount following the 2000 US presidential election.
You know, the one that the Republicans stole, the one that the Democrats wimped out on, and the one that helped Katharine Harris get implants?
The trailer looks promising. Especially Laura Dern's (swoon) portrayal of Ms. Harris. Have a look:
From Hedehusene, Denmark... that's it for now...

from the "day one" dept.
I have arrived in Copenhagen. A good flight. A little sleep. A couple of films. And my bags all arrived.
So far, so good.
I am waiting for Jesper to pick me up... and then it's off to his place for a dinner of herring with a visit to Ikea for dessert.
Or something like that.
The battery on my computer is quite low... and I've buried my euro-power plug adapters in my bag... so, this will be a short post.
More to come!
Cheers!

from the "waiting is the hardest part" dept.
Here I am at SEATAC. Outside security. Waiting.
I've found a power outlet (!) and Wifi is a reasonable $7.99 for 24-hours. I don't need quite that much time... but I will be here for a while.
The plane is scheduled to depart at 7:01 pm. It is 3:29 pm. So... I think I'll charge the battery on the laptop, then go for a big meal, a couple of beer (for help sleeping) and then check in.
International travel is SO exciting! Right, Tom?
More to come.
Cheers!

from the "rush to wait" dept.
I'm at the La Quinta hotel in downtown Seattle and my flight to Copenhagen takes off in about six hours. So I have a bit of time to kill -- at least until I have to check out -- at 1 pm. And then figure out how to kill five hours at Seatac.
Anywho...
It was a good weekend. I celebrated by 30th birthday Saturday with the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field. It was a dandy game and the Ms won. My buddy Randy and I consumed a few beers, hot dogs and pretzels. Mmm... ballpark pretzels!
Sunday was a repeat of Saturday except it wasn't my birthday and the Mariners lost. In between the games we hit all of Seattle's finest stores: Apple, Bottleworks, REI and Target.
Plus a NAFTA meal Sunday night (Canadians eating Mexican in America).
Randy has headed back to Canada while I get ready for the big trip. It's going to be a long haul. 10.5 hours to Copenhagen. And then I have a couple of hours to kill before my Danish friends fetch me at Central Station.
I'd hoped to get a podcast up today, but the audio editing programs are driving me nuts -- it seems like too much work for too little reward. In other words, I'm sure you can imagine the sound of a ball game.
I will capture on the road reports in the coming days... no editing required... and see how that goes.
Until then... here's a little more roadtrip music for ya:
Cheers!

from the "goin' mobile" dept.
And so, another adventure, another year, begins.
It starts slow... just a short drive to Seattle for a couple of ball games.
Then, on Monday, a big winged thing will drag these old bones across the (Atlantic) pond to Denmark. And then the real adventure begins.
I'm going to attempt to post audio clips and photos along the way. Hopefully it will actually work this time.
Until the next post, enjoy one of my fav road trip songs. What's yours?
