Senga mi hjemme neste takk!

It's Friday evening over here, I've said goodbye to Sue, packed some and not looking forward to go to bed because I'm not looking forward to getting up early, keep packing and leave. Have to get up around four some time tonight, jump in the shower, get done packing, try to get some breakfast (I have poor appetite on flights) and leave here by six, check in seven thirty at the latest and the plane takes off at nine fortyfive. Three and a half hours to Chicago then a few hours or so there, eight and a half hours to Stockholm and then a few hours or so there, and then one hour to Oslo, through the tax free for some booze, get my bags and get on the airtrain home. My bed at home next please!

Phive days in Phoenix
Naa har jeg vaert i Phoenix hele fem dager, og det foerste jeg kan si er bare: jeg digger vaeret! Vi har naa hatt 24 grader pluss minus et par grader helt siden jeg kom, straalende sol og ikke en sky paa himmelen! Det er toert og varmt, og blir det for varmt kommer det en sval herlig bris og alt er i straalende orden igjen.
---
Now I've been in Phoenix for five days, and the first thing I can say is just: I love the weather! We've had about 24 degrees Celsius or 76 degrees Fahrenheit plus minus ever since I came, brilliant sun and not a cloud in the sky! It's dry and hot, and if it get's too hot there is a nice cool breeze and everything just allrigh again.

Phinally Phoenix!
Har naa kommet vel fram til Phoenix etter at bussen var en time og et kvarter forsinka fra Tucson. Turen gikk bra, og Gene henta meg paa bussterminalen. Det var flott aa se han igjen, og vi hadde masse aa snakke om paa turen hjem. Vel hjemme fikk jeg omvisning rundt stallen og hilsa paa de nye hestene, geitene og eslene, foer jeg fikk omvisning i det enormt flotte nye huset og traff noen venner av Gene og Sue som var paa besoek. Det var enormt godt aa treffe Sue igjen ogsaa, og hun laga som alltid en helt nyyydelig middag.
Kommer til aa oppdatere mer seinere, men for naa kan jeg bare si at alt er bedre enn bra :) Men jeg har ikke mobildekning oppi fjellene her, saa mens jeg er i huset her er internett min enkleste maate aa kommunisere paa :)

Have now made it well to Phoenix after the bus was one hour and fifteen minutes late from Tucson. The trip went well, and Gene got me at the bus station. It was great seeing him again, and we had lots to talk about on the way home. At home I got a tour around the stables and got to meet the new horses, goats and donkeys, before I got a tour of the enormously beautiful new house and met some friends of Gene and Sue that are visiting. It was sooo great to meet Sue again too, and she made a lovely dinner as always.
I'm gonna update more later, but for now I can say that everything is even better than good :) But I don't have cell phone coverage up in the mountains here, so while I'm around the house here the Internet will be my easiest way of communicating :)

Tucson and suuunshiiine!
Kom inn med toget i gaar kveld, til den reneste stasjonen jeg tror jeg noensinne har sett! Vaakna til vaaarmt solskinn, dagen skal ikke tilbringes inne saa jeg skal ut og traske gater! Du vet det er meg naar du ser en solbrent nordmann :)
---
Got in on the train yesterday, to the cleanest station I think I've ever seen! Woke up to hot sunshine, this day will not be spent inside so I'm going out to do my walkabout! You know it's me when you see a sunburnt Norwegian :)

Tallahassee
Tallahassee er hovedstaden i Florida, saa tenkte det kunne vaere kult med en tur innom der. Det viste seg at det er en av de bedre byene jeg har vaert innom saa langt naar det gjelder et kompakt sentrum, bra turistkontor og et bra bussystem.
---
Tallahassee is the capital of Florida, so I figured it'd be cool with a visit there. It turned out to be one of the better cities I've visited so far when it comes to a central downtown, a very nice visitor's office and a well built out buss system.

More of San Antonio
Naa sitter jeg i en fancy hotellobby sammen med ei dame jeg tilfeldigvis traff paa bussen her i byen. Hun er flyvertinne og har faktisk vaert i Oslo, hva er sjansen for det, hehe. Husker dessverre ikke navnet hennes, det faar komme etterhvert.

Now I am sitting in a fancy hotel lobby with a lady I happened to meet at the bus in town. She is an air stewardess and has actually been to Oslo, what are the chances, hehe. Unfortunately I can't remember her name, it'll come as we go.

A visual taste!
Endelig faar dere alle en visuell smakebit paa hva turen har bydd paa saa langt. Jeg har masse bilder, og mere kommer seinere, kommer til aa legge de inn paa facebook og saa poste linken her, litt lettere enn en kilometerlang blogpost. Men kos dere saa lenge!!!
---
Finally you get a visual taste of what my trip has been like so far. I have a bunch of pics, and more will come later, I'll prob post them on facebook and then post a link here, a little easier than a mile long blog post. But enjoy for now!!!

San Antonio
Det viktigste i nuet foerst: Jeg har kommet meg halvveis (eller saa, haha) gjennom Texas og befinner meg naa i San Antonio med flott vaer! Fant et bibliotek paa veien til hotellet mitt, hvor jeg har ypperlig internett-tilgang, saa naa har jeg endelig faatt betalt regninger, svart folk paa facebook og gaatt gjennom mailen min, og saa var det bloggen sin tur. Skal innom biblioteket igjen flere ganger mens jeg er her (de har aapent til klokka ni paa kveldstid!), saa skal nok komme igjennom alle kommentarer og faa lagt ut bilder foer jeg drar herfra :) Det blir bra!
Tusen takk til alle som kommenterer og leser og foelger med, det er saa goey for meg! Selv mamma klarte aa kommentere til slutt (og legge igjen barnslige kallenavn i tillegg), det er bra folkens!
Postkort er ogsaa paa vei, men det tar litt tid, postkontorer er litt distante steder og er bare der jeg faar kjoept postkort. Men bedre seint enn aldri! :)
---
The most important current stuff first: I have made it halfways (or so about, haha) through Texas and am now in San Antonio with great weather! Found a public library on the way to my hotel, where I have wonderful Internet-access, so I've finally got some bills paid, answered folks on facebook, gone through my email and now it's the blog's turn. I'll stop by the library several times while I'm here (they're open until 9 pm!), so I will make it through all the comments and added some pics before I leave :) It'll be so sweet!
Thank you to everyone who is commenting and reading and following me, it is sooo much fun to see for me! Even Mom was able to comment in the end (and leave childish nicknames too), good stuff folks!
Post cards are on their way too, but it takes a little time, the post offices are usually a little out of the ways and that's the only places I can get stamps. But better late than never! :)
