God rejser!

This one will be quick.  Flight went well except my nose decided to continue running the entire time and I made a small fool of myself trying to open the salad dressing (peppercorn and ranch splattering the window).  I'm waiting now at the Copenhagen airport for my transfer flight over to Charles de Gaulle, but still haven't heard word back from my landlord as to whether or not he will be meeting me at my apartment later tonight.  I sent him an email yesterday letting him know that my flight had been switched, but no word yet.  I'm picturing satin sheets and an Eiffel Tower view might be in order - room service anyone?  I was always told lemon makes lemonade, so if some one is willing to wire me 300 euro we can make that sentiment a reality.  More realistically I might be crashing at a hostel tonight.  Need to figure that out quick.

By the way, why is this airport 98% shopping mall?  I would be half-tempted to splurge on some Burberry and tax-free cognac if I had any of that currency they claim to be using.  45 DKK for a latte?  I'm not sure if that's a deal or not.  I'm imagining not.  On the plus, everything is clean and updated (paid for in no small part by those lattes no doubt) and the employees are very accommodating and blonde.  I think I'd like to come back here.  I've got to imagine the exchange rate is at least a bit more favorable than the euro.  Maybe, I should save the satin sheets for a night in Denmark.

Okay, I promised quick, so here's quick.  Tootles.

  1. You're imagining right: 45 kroner works out to about US$8.34. That better be a really good latte, or a really big latte, or a really big, good latte.

    Kobenhavn is quite nice, and I'd recommend a day or three.
