Getting ready!

I have just sent my first couchsurfer away with the train to Oslo. A very pleasant experience to have guests this way! And now it is my turn to be a surfer.
Yesterday I mailed to my couchsurfer host in Chania to make sure everthing went according to plans. And confirmations came quickly, so now I know I will be met at the airport with a sign that says COUCH! and from there taken to the apartment to leave the luggage before going out to a restaurant in the old Venetian Harbour of Chania to eat fish and/or calamares! What a nice start on a holiday!

Some of the CS people living in the area are planning an other event while I am there, maybe I will join to meet more Greek people.

And now I will find my suitcase and start packing. The passport is in my purse. My car will be taken care of and go through the EU-check-out. Studded tires will be changed for summer-tires, and I will be ready for the Norwegian summer when I get back.

The sun is shining, it will be another nice and warm day, and the world here changed colours to green almost overnight. I will have to do some serious weeding and grassmowing before I leave so I don't have to come home to a wilderness area when I get back in two weeks.

And tomorrow at 5PM there will be a plane leaving Oslo Airport Gardermoen with a seat with my name on it. I can hardly wait!
