Vocational day

First of all. All the luggage is back! Kristoffer, Mette and Martin is happy and ready for the rest of the GSE-program. 

Today it was the Vocational day. It means that we have been to companies that has something to do with our work back in Norway. At 12:00 today we all went to a Rotary meeting and held our presentation for the first time here in USA. After lunch we all got back to the different companies and in the evening we spent the time with our great host-families. 

Tomorrow we are going to Union... thats all we know.... 

Please give us your comments and we will update hour pages in a few hours....

Luggage, tennis and church

We finally got to Greenville after a 24 hour trip. But a lot of our luggage is missing. Two of us got everything, two have lost one bag and Kristoffer have nothing. Now, almost 24 hour after we landed, we still miss the luggage and British Airways and American Airlines says that they dont`have it... We are very pleased with the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow.... 

We started the day with breakfast at the Merlott Hotel in Spartanburg together with the GSE outbound-team and a lot of Rotarians from the area. After that we went to a Country Club at Spartenburg and a tennis-tournament. The sun said hello and it was a very nice time and good players to watch. 

At 19:00 we went to the First Presbyterian Church for a concert. A celebration of psalms was the title of the concert and the singers was very good. Psalms was from 1550 to 1983. 

To be continued....

Sitting at Ohare in Chicago

After 1, 5 hours from Oslo to London and then 9 hours from London to Chicago we are sitting in the airportbar with a beer. (and we are going to sit here for 3 hours.)
We have been traveling for 19 hours now, but are still smiling :-)

We have to take a short connecting flight to Greenville, so we are getting closer.

The only bad thing is that we are missing a lot of luggage but we are hoping it will arrive tomorrow.

Just a few days left

To day is wednesday 23/4 , and we are leaving Norway early saturday morning. We are taking the train from Oslo to the airport at 0545 !!!

The planes leaves from Oslo then goes to Heathrow London and from there to USA. I'll tell you more about the trip it self later. I hope we dont get hit to much by jetlag when we arrive South Carolina.

Regards

Kristoffer
