40. I did think twice about ordering the whale sushi.

But did it-- 2 pieces of nigiri.

You airports that I was in were so-- light, airy, I think in Oslo some areas had oak wood floors, as I remember, comfortable seats....

On my return flight, my plane from trondheim was 20 minutes late and I only had 45 minutes anyway. Arrival gate in Olso was the last one on the domestic, end ( I am sure you know where I mean) and my NY flight was the last gate at the International end.
THAT was fun !.. I made it.. I was in economy PLUS..AND one of the flight attendants was the same woman who was on my EWR- OSL a week earlier. She even remembered me. What are the odds.

Anyway, really looking to my return.

I travel internationally maybe 10-12 times each year-- often Asia, ME, some to Europe... on business. but really the business is easy and I always enjoy and value the cultural, personal and FOODIE experiences.... I met my now ex-wife in Qingdao.
We are still good friends and I almost brought her to Trondheim with me...
