The 2015 Further
Adventures of Kalinka1
Greetings or
should I say god dag fra nie sa sol Norge.
Raining big
cats and bigger dogs down low and probably snow above the clouds and it’s May
5!
I started
this year on April 29 in Toronto by being driven to and kicked out at Pearson
International airport in Malton Ont.
I entered
the terminal and proceeded to line up in the check in line for Iceland air.
Little did I know that I’d be there for the next 3.5 hours! The computer system
was down and we waited and waited as they tried unsuccessfully to fix it. So
they decided to check us all in manually! I eventually got checked in then had
to hot foot it to the gate and horror of horrors no time for duty free! And
they had changed my seat! I did manage to stay well behaved though and actually
got the window at the wing exit row so able to stretch out!
Away we went
only 1 ½ hours late. Easy five hour flight to Iceland. Supposed to hold the
connector for us but and a big but it was it took off just as I got to the
gate! Now I really wasn’t happy! Sent to customer service desk booked on a
later flight with SAS and given a food
voucher only good for the cheapest thing on the menue! Had Scrambled eggs and ½
pound of bacon so not so bad but would have been more satisfying to strangle
somebody!
Made it Oslo
you get Duty free when you get off the plane so quite good. Missed the train!
Catched the next one an hour and a half later. Supposed to stop in Royken but
doesn’t so going to Drammen whether I want to or not! Call cousin on phone. New
arrangements Anne will meet me there. Get off train two medium bags and one
honkin big one with boat stuff, duty free and extra’s weight ¼ ton. Of course
the train stops on the platform the furthest away from the station and exit. So
off I stagger Just about up the ramp and out and the phone rings! Put
everything down find the phone answer it, Anne wants to know where I am. Did I
miss that train too? I caught my breath told her I was there somewhere and
coming up a ramp. Wow kazam there she was just around the corner. Magic I tell
you just magic. Loaded my stuff into her car broke the suspention and I relaxed as I was driven to my new home for 4 days.
