Up Up and Away
The
Maine Business School MBA trip to Sweden is officially underway! Nic Erhardt and I met the students at Logan
airport to begin our journey to Sweden.
Everyone was there and in good spirits and the group got a chance to
bond over an overpriced airport meal prior to boarding the Air France 747-400
on our way to Paris.
The students
all seem to be eager to get into the country and have a chance to explore their
new surroundings. We have a nice,
relaxing first afternoon planned. After
we get into Stockholm proper from the airport, we will get everyone settled and
take in the Old Town including some amazing views of the royal residence before
heading to a local pizza joint (which Nic swears makes the best pizza in the
world!!!). As of this writing (11pm EST
on the day of departure), most of the crew is asleep as we suggested repeatedly
in pre-trip meetings so it is my hope jetlag will be minimal for most of the
group.
I am a
religious non-sleeper on planes (no matter how tired), and so I relish this
time as a chance to get work done and switch mindsets for the upcoming adventure. I expect a great trip balancing business
visits with plenty of time to experience the culture of Sweden. I will endeavor to update this blog each day
of the trip and provide one lens through which to see the time we spend in
Stockholm.
