Hello Stockholm

We've made our way across the pond and after a change of planes in Copenhagen, we've arrived in Stockholm.  We flew SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) for the first time, saving our pennies so we could splurge for Business Class.  It was such a great experience, I'm going to be thinking about it every time I fly coach from now on.

After going through customs, we boarded the Arlanda Express Train that gets you from the airport to the central train station in less than 20 minutes.  We then transferred to the Tunnelbana (subway) and found our hotel two stops later.

Stockholm is comprised of a series of islands and we're staying on Södermalm just across the water from the historic center of Stockholm known as Gamla Stan.  We're close enough to the water that we have great views of the City from our hotel.  We're only here for two nights and there is so much we want to see and do.  It's almost 10pm as I'm typing this, and the sun still hasn't set.  Looking forward to long days so we can explore all that Stockholm and the rest of Scandinavia has to offer.
