Getting There - Stockholm & Helsinki

My travel group met in New York City - about two dozen high school and college students and eight or so chaperones. My good friend, Geoff Moses, was in the group, but Geoff and I were meeting everyone else for the first time. Off we went, armed with passports, visas and immunization cards. Our charter flight left from JFK around midnight. After dozing for a while, I awoke to a gorgeous sunrise over the North Atlantic.
