Made it to Helsinki!

Helsinki

After a long couple days of flying, we finally arrived at our hotel in Helsinki this evening. It was a pretty tiring experience getting over here, but that's my own fault since I pulled an all-nighter on Friday night (trying to finish up a training course and slides for CSS). I rewarded myself with a little first-class action from Denver to Newark, but then was in the "back of the bus" from Newark to Oslo. We had a 4-hour layover in Oslo before hopping on a 2-hour flight to Helsinki. A 45-minute cab ride, a stop at the wrong hotel, a 5 minute cab ride and we arrived at the right location. I should sleep pretty good tonight after 48 hours of little to no sleep.

We haven't seen much of the city yet, but hope to tomorrow. The hotel we're staying at is pretty nice. I especially like the fact they have very nice saunas and we're staying only a few doors down from them. Our room is incredibly large and has 3 beds in it. The bathroom even has heated floors. Good thing my mom picked up the tab for this one. ;-)

Tomorrow looks like a high of 55°F, which sounds about perfect. I brought a coat and would hate to pack it around for nothing.

Don't worry, you will need your coat during long (or maybe not so long anymore) evenings if you stay outside. But during daytime it suppose to be rather warm this week. Enjoy your stay in Finland.

Welcome to Helsinki Matt. It has been nice weekend when it comes to weather, could be much worse. If you have some spare time in Helsinki, maybe we could have beer or to in some local bar?

My parents and I are up for beers tonight. You guys want to meetup for happy hour somewhere? We leave tomorrow for Oslo at 5pm, so tonight works best for us.

Matt, Have fun! It's a long, long way from here to there. Is beer still really expensive out there? I want to hear all about it... Regards from the Swamp, Mike http://www.mikelevin.net

Sorry for the late notice, but it looks like we're going to meet in front of our hotel at 5 and find a local pub from there. Join us if you're in the area.
