Finally! Launch day is here! I'm fighting back tears at the prospect of leaving this afternoon. I am still alive, I feel strong and good, and I am ready to get my adventure underway. My feet feel better today so I won't have trouble walking through O'Hare and Copenhagen International airports. Denmark, I am coming home to you soon!

Bon voyage and have a wonderful trip Ed! :clap:

That's a Norweigan flag! Are you taking the piss out of me, mate?? :hmmm:

THIS is the flag of my people, the Dannebrog. Long may she fly high and proud!

Have fun ed

Have a safe trip.

I am in Denmark now. I didn't post earlier since we got caught in a deluge as we exited the bus and trudged along to the hotel. A bolt of lightning struck a mile out and thunder ripped the sky, then it really came down. I had my raincoat on but my jeans got soaked and so did my suitcase and carry-on bag. My socks and underwear are wet and other clothing items, too. After a hot shower, we all went to my second cousin's apartment and had a magnificent feast. They stuffed us to the gills to the point none of knew if we could even eat the ice cream for dessert with a Portugese port wine. We had 3 or 4 types of meat, various salads, potaotes, stuffing, and it was all superbly delicious. And we drank a lot of beer, trying 6 new kinds for me and most were outstanding while one was merely quite a bit above average. After that wonderful feast, I took my group to the Duus (which is in my signature pic) and had a brew, then to the Irish House for another. Why I woke up at 3 am loclal time, I have no idea. Well, I do... damned colon cancer. Aside from that, I feel good iniside and out and very happy to be back!

Eddie, you magnificent bastard... never say no on this trip, and dont let anyone tell you no, either.

Grab Denmark by its tits and make it yours, love ya man, happy travels.

Kick ass man. Travel safe.

I danced with a woman at the Irish House two nights back and she even asked me to dance some more. It's a good thing my feet got a lot better. I was hobbling around like I had glass in them for 2 days, thanks to lingering chemo in my system. I've been flushing my system out with many tasty brews, though.

Cancer is the scariest word in the dictionary. It's awesome that you're responding well to the Chemo.
God Bless You.

Hell yeah man! Glad you're having a good time.

Thrilled for you, Ed!

I am in Lokken now and it is cold out there! The blood thinner I am on makes me feel colder outside, and that is so odd to me. I used to love a chill in the air.

When in doubt... Have another beer. So awesome to hear that you are having such a good time. Way to kick some ass Ed!
