Melissa and Klas's Journey: Happy 19th! Hej från Sverige (Hi from Sweden), April 19, 2007

About Me

We both like to travel, especially to visit family and friends around the world. Coming from Australia and Sweden and having family in Texas and California, most of our trips are to these places. And now we've embarked on a very long trip, visiting about 30 countries, so we thought we'd share our journey with you...

Happy 19th! Hej från Sverige (Hi from Sweden), April 19, 2007

Picture: Klas, Åsa and Vendela

We finished sightseeing (click here for photos) in Boston on April 18, visiting Fenway Park, Newbury Street, and Beacon Hill. We took a late flight out that evening to Stockholm, our first destination in Europe.

Happy 19th!...We landed in Stockholm on April 19, which marks when we started dating 12 years ago. So this date is special for several reasons as we also met our niece, Vendela (the beautiful baby in the picture). We relaxed with Pelle (Klas's brother) and Åsa in the afternoon and then headed over to Karin's (Klas's sister) place for Swedish meatballs.

It's nice to be here and be able to spend time with Klas's family the next few weeks. We will head to Linköping (2 hours drive southwest of Stockholm) this weekend to see the rest of the Brunskog family.

We're all missing you and jealous at the same time :)

Hope you're having a wonderful time. Certainly sounds and looks like it. If you're still in Sweden when you get this, say hi to Pelle and Asa for me.
