So long to you guys. I will miss you, but will be home again in a week or so.
If I have access to a computer i will make a post or two.
I received a myriad of travel tips and am pretty well set. I have copies of passport as well as credit cards. Good advice!
I was able to get a boarding pass on line. It was a real challenge.

The nice lady that plays my wife has severe memory problems. her daughters contacted me and asked me to watch out for her. So did the production company. I suspect they are sorry they weren't more careful in choices. A very nice lady and a capable actress, but I plan to stay on in Sweden for a few days, maybe even a week. So here is a problem I hope we can solve.
There are dozens of tours in and around Stockholm. I will take a few.

I got a "Swedish phrase" print out and Now I can say things like "There are snails on the bottom of my Hovercraft!" Who will ever say that? It was a crack up reading it.

Best wishes Jerry. I hope the trip goes well and the shoot too. But my guess is that you don't care much about the shoot considering you have this wonderful opportunity to travel. Have fun and don't keep all your money and cards etc in the same place. Pete and I always hide a $100 bill or $50 somewhere in our van "just in case".

I do care greatly about the shoot. It is very important to me. As far as I know, based on the audition I have but one line. I better do it well! The production company, that I now know, is huge in Europe. They picked us for a reason. We cannot let them down.

Without my Wife along I am sure I wont be there as long as planned. How many tours can i take alone?
I will say a few days after the shoot, maybe more.

Have a safe trip Jerry. Sounds like you are very well prepared. I just recently copied all of the stuff in our wallets. A friend of ours was coming through the border crossing last month from Canada and had left his wallet laying in his lap, first trip out of the truck and he lost it. I bet you'll be a tired little guy when you get home...........you can just sit at your computer and tell us all about your trip.

Have fun Jerry!

Didn't realize you were heading to Stockholm, it is a beautiful city/ My wife grew up in one of the suburbs. You could probably spend weeks walking around, it is a very clean city...enjoy the parks (lots of sun bathing

)

Enjoy your trip! I fly to LA in the morning. See you next time around.

Cheers,
Sean

Thanks for the tip Esther. Might come in handy should I ever find myself short of cash while in Grand Rapids....

Enjoy your trip, Jerry. It was nice of you to look after the lady for her family, but don't let her keep you from enjoying your trip or cause you to shorten it. Enjoy seeing Sweden, and post lots of pics when you are able!

Mikey · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2010, 11:21:14 AM »

Break a leg!

Jerry · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:49:47 AM »

There were several who looked after her. She did fine and is very much "in the moment" It is just yesterday that seems to slip away. On the flight she asked what all this was about?

Esther · « **Reply #20 on:** August 23, 2010, 02:35:35 PM »

Mikey, the cash stash is only in the van when we are traveling so if we come to visit, take a look around.
