On Our Way

In 24 hours, Daniel and I will be in the Minneapolis Airport, getting ready for our move. First we'll fly from MSP to Chicago O'Hare, then have a 4-hour layover (for extra safety at a crazy airport) before flying to Copenhagen. We'll arrive in Copenhagen at 1:20pm local time (they're 7 hours ahead of us). From Copenhagen, we'll take a 45-minute train to Lund, then a taxi to the lab where the leader of the lab has our apartment key and will presumably walk us to our new place! This trip is really planes, trains, and automobiles!


Last night we had a going-away party with our families.













Everyone had a great time and got along well.













We're finally excited and looking forward to our own place and a new environment. We have some idea of what our first week will be like: First, we might try to get a personnummer, which is like a social security number. That will allow us to get a bank account, a cell phone, etc. We will of course need to have a crash lesson in Swedish to allow us to get a full house of groceries and even cleaning products.

If you want to contact us, our phones will be out of service in the next couple of days. In the mean time, you can contact us on Skype. My Skype username is "stephaniespayne," while Daniel's is "dr.danwolf." If you see us online, feel free to message or call to see if we're available to talk. Or, email us and set a time for us to chat. Once we get cell phones again, that may be an option for calling/texting us.

I'll update from Sweden once we arrive with a photo tour of our apartment!
