My days are currently filled with theory studies as the final ATPL exams (last ATPL block) are coming up in less than two weeks…

Cannot wait until my ATPL exams are over as there are quite a lot of things I have planned, or at least hoped, to do once all ATPL exams are done, such as:

1. train more
2. catch up with friends
3. catch up on new music
4. hang out in Malmö more
5. upgrade my blog from WordPress 2.3.2 to the new and better 2.5 version
6. try out the new Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
7. get Liferay Portal to work for our student union and perhaps code some Java ()

All this - and a lot more - will be possible in merely 23 days…

And yes, I got back safe-and-sound from the four-day trip around Europe. Everything went a long quite smooth to be honest and there were no mishaps. We took around 400 pictures, but I haven’t had time to through them yet (that too is on the list). After the finals, I’ll add some pictures to the picture gallery. Sadly, the weather during our trip was not too good with overcasts and low clouds, but there should be some nice pictures.

Everything is planned, prepared and ready for a four day tour around Europe starting Monday morning (tomorrow that is)!

Sadly, I’ve had a slight cold and a stopped-up nose and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go tomorrow. Really hope that I can go because I’ve invested a lot time in it and I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time as well.

This European tour is something practically every student at the school has been looking forward to since we got admitted (just like tour to Northern Sweden). We have spent hours planning for this trip. Looking up routes and airports, contacting airports about fueling, parkering etc. Be advised that finding and filing airways routes through Germany that get accepted is a hazzle, close to impossible to be honest.

Anyway, if I’m on then it will be one PA31 (SE-ITD), one flight instructor and three students including myself.

Our days are planned as follows:

• Day 1 (Mon April 14th): Ljungbyhed - Groeningen, The Netherlands - Kent/Manston, UK - Jersey, UK (I’m flying the last leg)
• Day 2 (Tue April 15th): Jersey, UK - Dijon, France - Salzburg, Austria - Prag, Tjeckia
• Day 4 (Thu April 17th): Prag, Tjeckia - Cologne/Bonn, Germany - Templehof, Germany - Ljungbyhed
