3-2-1

Help, oh help, I’ve been bitten by spontaneity! Tomorrow I’ll be heading towards the US in a haste. For a while now I’ve been planning to go to the US, and the other day it hit me; who needs a plan anyway. Two days later here I am, and tomorrow I’ll be getting up at nothing earlier than 3-ish AM, and fly out from Gothenburg, Sweden.

It’s not all that spontaneous as I’d like you to believe though; there is a plan. First off, I’m heading to Frankfurt, then to DC. I’ll be staying there for a couple of days, until I head up to Chicago. Interestingly enough, adding the domestic flight to Chicago lowered the total price of the trip by nothing less than $130.01. Where’s the sense in that? It just underlines the fact that there is no sense in the domain that is airline companies. I recently heard an explanation for it that I liked; many years ago, a brilliant COBOL program was made for calculating optimal flight routes and total fare price. Now, an eternity later, no one understands what happens inside the demon that is the route calculator. Now that makes sense.

Oh, and the picture? Completely out of context. Who needs context anyway.
