After a very lengthy delay leaving LAX, The Traveling
Hillbilly arrived in London late yesterday.
My friends from San Francisco arrived just minutes after. Given we were in different terminals we
decided we’d head to our hotel and meet up for dinner later.
After checking in and getting settled, I headed over to meet
my friends at their hotel for a drink and then dinner. We ordered some champagne, toasted our
adventure ahead and spent time catching up.
We then had a very bland dinner at the “oriental” restaurant in their
hotel.
After a very unrestful night with little sleep, I’m sitting
on a Finnair flight headed to Helsinki, where I’ll switch planes and catch
another flight to Rovaniemi where we’ll be met with a car to take us to our
final destination Luosto, in the Finnish Laplands.
I sit on the plane with a deep hope of actually getting to
see the Northern Lights. The sun is
reaching the peak of its 11 year solar activity cycle, meaning this one of the
best opportunities for seeing the northern lights! Cross your fingers and wish us luck!
