My Trip To Finland Has Begun!
The trip started back in January 8 when me, my dad, and my sister drove 3 hours to LA to go the international airport. When we got there we checked in our luggage and passed through security without a hitch. Finally, I sat down at the gate, 4 hours before the boarding began! While we were waiting I was able to take a look around the airport and at the planes.
Then I boarded the plane to London. The flight was going to be 9 hours and 8,750 kilometers long. More than a few movies later I arrived at Heathrow airport in England. After a mad dash to the checked luggages pick-up, we sat down near a board with flight information. Which turned out to be incorrect. Right before I boarded the 4 hour flight to Helsinki I bought a sandwich for the ride. Then a soft landing in Helsinki.
A 2 hour layover, then finally Jyvaskyla. When I first stepped out of the airport, I gasped because of the cold and also of the beautiful landscape. Trees topped with powder-like snow and the ground was sparkling even at 2 in the morning.
The next day my dad and I woke up at noon. The sun had only been up for 2 hours before and would set in the next 2 hours. So we swiftly got dressed and went for a walk and it was extremely cold out; 16 degrees fahrenheit to be exact. Then we got back and went to sleep. That’s all for today.
