day one

Sign at the Chicago gate

Hej! That's "hello" in Danish. We have arrived in København! It's cold and rainy. So, not much different than what Philly or Pittsburgh is getting. Overall, the flights went smoothly. We were a little skeptical at first because of the freezing rain in Chicago, so our flight from Pittsburgh was looking pretty grim and was actually delayed a few times. But, the cards were in our favor and we made it to Chicago. Jason's work gave us business class from Chicago to Copenhagen. All I'm saying is, I could really get used to flying that way any time. When your seat literally reclines into a bed and the cocktails are delicious, strong, and free...um, yeah...sign me up! And just so you have an example:

That's what I call "wiggle room"!

We're staying in a hotel for the first few nights before moving into a temporary apartment. The same hotel we were in last time when Lady Gaga stayed here for her concert (also the same floor that she rented out that time). I think some of the feathers from her bird hat are still in the hallways. We have 3 months to find a permanent residence. I've never been one to enjoy living out of a suitcase, so this should be an interesting experience.

Today's going to be a "bearings-gathering" kind of day. We're in City Center of Copenhagen, so there's plenty to do and see. Thanks for reading this first little update and I'll be checking in again soon!
