I have been trying to write this post for 2 days. This is the third try. Suffice to say, I have been reminded that when your document is in the Internet cloud, you should save periodically as you can lose it all if you lose your connection to the cloud! And, the WordPress app for the iPad has some challenges – it is good but sometimes doesn’t permit simple things like copy and paste.

Interesting duty-free at the Oslo airport. There is a duty free as you arrive. So, locals get of the flight and immediately go into the duty free! In a country with significant taxes and where many fklights are international (small country) this must be a real advantage.

There is a great high speed train from the airport downtown. After a 24 hour elapse time trip, it was great to just sit for a rapid 20 minute trip through rolling green countryside.

I visited the Fram museum today – chronicles the Arctic and Antarctic explorations of Norwegian explorers. Did you know that some of the islands in Canada’s Arctic were transferred from the Norwegian government to Canada in 1925!! Some amazing stories.

Enroute, I spent a few hours in the Heathrow airport outside London. This image is from my families visit to London a few years back. Heathrow is still an expensive place to visit.
