We are now in Karlskoga and our vacation has taken a turn for the better. We have our luggage, Henry is feeling better, and we have met with our family here and had a very nice dinner at their house the night we arrived. Our hotel is a renovated farm house that is now a bed and breakfast. It is 150 years old and very cozy. There are only four rooms and our party takes up three of them. Yesterday we visited a real Swedish IKEA! I wish we had one near us in Arkansas. We also visited Alfred Nobel´s, (Nobel Prize) home yesterday. They have converted it to a museum. Alfred Nobel invented dynamite among other things.
(Now that I´m feeling better I realize that my comment about the Swedish keyboard was ethnocentric and not very anthropoligical. Please excuse my frustration. That´s what lack of sleep and suitcases will do to a person.)

Hi Brynn,
I just typed a long comment and then realized I needed to set up a blogger account to post it. So I lost my previous comments and I am starting over. This will be shorter.
I was looking for you yesterday to relay some Kirksey faculty unfortunate events, but realized you were probably still in Sweden when I didn't reach you. I thought to check your blog because I was also interested in how Henry took to long-distance flying and sure enough, you're still in Sweden.
I am sorry to hear that Henry had an ear infection before the trip. I'm sure he was miserable. It seems you had many compounded things to make your trip over difficult to say the least. I'm glad to see that you are trying not to let these events taint your trip. Just think, you've got quite the story to tell in the end.
Anyway, Happy New Year and here's hoping you have a blessedly uneventful return trip!
