Day arrives like a big spilled slushie!

Don't think crushed ice drinks will be very desirable in 24 hours when I am on the ground in Stockholm but for now a big giant has spilled his white slushie across the Jersey shore. I am all packed and ready to go....well almost. I digress, thanks for checking out this blog I hope that you check back as I will try to give you a daily look inside the adventures of a ferry boat musician and traveler in the Baltic states of Europe.
At the moment I am sitting in the kitchen of my condo on the Jersey Shore waiting for the passports to come back from the Finnish Consulate. Our Visa's have not been approved yet by the Finnish Gov. so one of the first experiences I will be having is ironing out approval in Stockholm at the Finnish Embassy to obtain the needed work visa so that I can get on the boat and play on Thursday.
Flight takes off tonight at 9:40 weather permitting from Newark International Airport. I have not figured out the time differences yet but I am sure that my body will let me know what time it believes it is. Tomorrow and Wednesday nights James and I will be staying at a youth hostel in Stockholm where there is free internet, coffee and pasta I will let you know all about it!
Signing off for now, check back and see how my writing skills improve, maybe I'll even teach you some Finnish or Swedish as I learn it.
