Welcome to my second TR on FT, the first of which can be found below (shameless plug):
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...adventure.html
This trip is currently in progress, though I will return home in 2 days, so the trip is coming to a close after two weeks abroad. I will do my best (while finishing up my vacation) to get a few parts written soon
Introduction
This trip is part of a parent-funded (and parent-planned) family vacation (so maybe on the other end of
eightblack's report) before the school year begins anew in the US, where I will be continuing my graduate studies. Since this trip is with my family I will not be introducing any pictures featuring my family members, which will come at the expense of some pictures, especially since my parents would probably think I'm insane taking pictures on planes, buses, and other "mundane" things. I'm a poor grad student and not a very frequent flier by FT standards (lowly UA Silver), so you may not see the many lounge/F/J pictures, but I will do my best to keep you entertained with a mostly Y TR.
This trip features several firsts for me, including flying LH and AC long-haul for the first time, my first time in Norway, and a most confusing cruise experience. While all of you know of LH/SK/AC/UA, Pullmantur cruise lines is a relative unknown on FT, with a search in the cruise forum turning up unanswered questions (which I will elaborate upon later).
Intinerary (TR will also include some destination highlights):
-LH Y SEA-FRA-OSL
-SK Y OSL-BOO
-Train Bodø-Trondheim
-Cruise Trondheim-Malmo
-AC Y CPH-YYZ
-UA Domestic F YYZ-ORD-SEA
Some of the pictures were taken with my Canon T2i, though images that do not contain watermarks were taken from my phone (aka not being quite as obvious as using a big camera)
Thanks for reading and all comments are welcome!
