Up, up and away (to north)!
As the strike was cancelled, we reserved flights to Oulu — with surprisingly cheap prices, too. Maybe people have been cautious with reserving flights due to the threat.
Our plan is to fly on Friday morning to Oulu, take a bus to Taivalkoski and spend a few days there, mingling with relatives and friends. The time should be spent also by reading books (I have six of those with me) and maybe doing some computer related tasks, if lazyness doesn’t stop me.
My personal plan is to get a lot of sleep. The latest trip to California is still banging my head every morning — haven’t got enough sleep yet. Otherwise, I haven’t had any jetlag, no waking up in the middle of the night as usually after intercontinental trips.
We’ll get back to Oulu on Monday and I’ll be working there in our local office on Tuesday. We’ll fly back to Helsinki on Tuesday evening.
