A little more than a month...

Time flies...
Fast...

It doesn't even feel like summer yet. It might be sunny and 20 degrees outside, but it still feels like spring. Might be because this is my first summer in a full-time job - and I have no vacation until September. And to quote a pretty crappy song - "wake me up when September comes (I know it is suppose to be ends....)

As for the trip it is still on. I am pretty sure that my friend Simon will be joining Erlend and I. We have also secured a geeky american guide in Gettysburg (that is you Angelica) and will hook up with a long-time-no-see buddy of mine from Northfield (living close to Boston).

So even though I'll miss bergen and (some) of the people here - the open road of the US seems pretty nice right about now. And I must admit I like to drive - and since Simon doesn't have a license (WHAT!) Erlend and I have to do all the driving anyways.

Plans shaping

So we have progressed a few steps over the last week.

The hotel in Vegas is booked. We will be staying at the fashionable New York New York on The Strip. Having stayed at MGM Grand a couple of times earlier we decided to try the hotel across the road. I, and probably Lie, will also play some cheap freeze-out tournements at The Luxor.

We also booked the car we will be driving. Because of the number of miles we will be driving we have decided to rent a SUV. Mainly because we will be seated a little higher on the road which will give us a better overview. Also a SUV is safer in a inprobable crash. So we have booked an Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The third thing we booked were tickets to the University of Michigan versus University of Massachusets at the Big House september 18th. 

Some current news: I've back to eastern Norway for a couple of days attending a friends bachelorparty. It got crazy, but I will only share a few keywords: a nazi uniform, a priests uniform, paintball and a horribel recording of Bon Jovis "Living on a prayer".

I am leaving Oslo on tuesday heading back to Bergen for a couple of months of work before going stateside.

That's all folks!
