Settled in the hotel

So after a day in the office and pizza night with the colleagues I settled at my hotel. 2 rooms + kitchen. I can't make up my mind which room to sleep in :(

Leaving the US for xmas

It's the time of the year again, xmas, since my family lives back in Sweden I'm somewhat obligated to go there, (un)luckely enough I have a 10 hour layover in Chicago so I'll be able to kill some time going downtown with a friend of mine, should be fun.

Back home in the US

Yes. After 2 weeks of traveling in Europe I'm back home. Back in the US. Every time I get back here I feel more and more at home. I've finalized my extension of my contract through 08. Hopefully I'll stay here even longer.

Right, I'm back in Sweden

So I've completely forgot to post about this, I'm back in Sweden for a month or so. Someone had to cover for everyone here while they went on vacation and who would be better than the guy who just moved from Sweden? Guess I wont get any vacation this year either...

Finally arrived to Cupertino

So I've finally arrived to Cupertino, here's the insane trip I had to do.

Arlanda -> Frankfurt -> Los Angeles -> San Jose

07:00 CEST: Wake up
07:30 CEST: Cab to the airport
08:00 CEST: At the airport
08:20 CEST: Checking, tickets and TSA cleared, going to gate
10:00 CEST: Announcement: The flight to Frankfurt has been delayed due to a thunderstorm, estimated boarding time is 11:00am CEST
10:15 CEST: Good news, we can board ahead of time
11:00 CEST: Boarding completed
11:20 CEST: Take off
13:40 CEST: At the Frankfurt airport, my next flight is leaving 13:55, Gotta hurry
13:40 CEST - 13:55am CEST: Runs like crazy to the other terminal
13:55 CEST: Announcement: The flight to Los Angeles is delayed due to the thunderstorm......
14:20 CEST: Boarding
15:00 CEST: Boarding completed and take off

17:00 PST: Arrives to Los Angeles, 30 minute delayed, fairly good in my opinion
17:30 PST: US immigration cleared
17:30 - 18:15 PST: Waiting for luggage, waiting a bit more....
18:15 PST: Announcement: Ehm... half of the luggage is gone, including mine (YAY awesome!!!)

My next flight is leaving at 18:55 PST and I don't have my boarding pass

18:40 PST: Goes to the self-checkin, my reservation code doesn't work, goes ahead to United services
19:00 PST: Awesome I've missed my flight, well lets hope that they can put me on another one
19:10 PST: Gets to the counter. "Your flight has been delayed until 19:35 PST" (Thank god!)
19:30 PST: TSA cleared, running without shoes to the gate (no time to put them on after the TSA)
19:34 PST: At the gate, boards quickly
19:50 PST: Takeoff!

Now I just have to wait to get my luggage, luckily enough I brought one change in my carry-on luggage, I'm just hoping that I'll get it by tomorrow, they have no idea where it is :(

Hope you'll enjoy the story ;)

Leaving Sweden

I'll be of for a trip to the US for 3 weeks to find an apartment, get a driver license and stuff like that.

Walking home

Since there's om bus going directly to my parents house I've to walk 2 kilometers the last part, at least during night time...
