It's looking like I will definitely be traveling to Denmark next week. Probably the 16th or the 18th until the 15th of October. I'll be helping my sister take care of my elderly mother, so it won't be all fun and games. I haven't been to Denmark since the late 70's. It will be good to get back. I was going to type "to get home", but it has been so long that Canada is home now. I wonder if I will be able to find any of my old friends. I can't remember most of their last names, if I ever knew them.

I can hardly wait to see Copenhagen again. It's really a beautiful city. I can hardly wait to eat real Danish food (fresh and smoked fish, real Danish pastry, and a plethora of cheeses) again. And of course, there is Danish beer, akvavit (Jubilaeums Akvavit is my favourite), and Cherry Heering.

Maybe the best part of the trip is that [livejournal.com profile] swestrup will probably be joining me.



Here's a link to a bunch of Copenhagn photos on a single page

Ah, nostalgia is setting in. I can hardly wait, even though I have a shitload of stuff to get done before I leave.

You're making Copenhagen look pretty good. It's too bad it's not under slightly happier circumstances.

My condolences for your mother requiring such assistance.

Congratulations on being able to render that aid.

Copenhagen looks like a wonderful city - but, beware the rose coloured enhancement glasses for someplace you haven't been in almost 30 years - for me, I find they snap into place about Montreal after about 6 months and all it takes is one of those week-end trips to remove them again.

"Maybe the best part of the trip is that [livejournal.com profile] swestrup will probably be joining me."

A trip of a life time and he is only "maybe" joining you? Tell him that Denmark is sure to have internet somewhere, and he can post an exciting travel blog from there! Shesh!

Alas, the choice isn't mine to make. [livejournal.com profile] taxlady's sister is footing the bill. I go if she decides she can find a sufficiently cheap way to get me there. Otherwise, I don't go.

Thank you for reminding me about the rose coloured glasses. However, I'm doing what I can to psyche myself for this trip. My mother isn't the easiest person around.

[livejournal.com profile] swestrup explained part of why it isn't definite that he will be going. It also has to do with logistics on the family side.
