(2010)On the U.S.  Midway flight deck, with the crippled Carnival  Splendor  in the background, Happy 4th It is better to ask for forgiveness than  Permission To Go Ashore. . No Noose Is Good News Ironically, Aircraft carriers are accidents looking for a place to happen.This time it wasn't a Battle Ship but  a cruise ship.  These guys at CCL, however,  were the Tim Gunn's of the industry. You know, because they made  it work no matter what. CCL ships are flagged under Panama.Therefore, when you buy a ticket, you essentially give up your constitutional and consumer rights. Carnival Cruise Control, nevertheless went into overdrive and has gone overboard with comp upgrades-as we are staying three nights at the Hyatt. Headed for Paris tomorrow-Carnival is paying for the flight, reimbursed the voyage and is giving us another one too. The WalMart of cruising is living up to its moniker-pay less and have more fun.

cOPENhagen-Denmark's the Spot Ed Reif 2.0  The Start Up-seeking out change and new experiences. Sweden and Denmark  were my  port of call for Summers 2009 and 2010, but I   stayed  in Stockholm  for three months in 96; with the usual run of the mill  obstacles, the fatigue, the ambiguity, and even the danger of being too enthusiastic. I learned a lot of Finnish jokes too  like the Finnish man loved his wife so much he almost told her. Serendipity brought me to an  Engelska/ English   bookstore   where I  bought (browsing not allowed like at Barnes and Noble) , the most important "geek" book of the info revolution, Nicholas Negroponte's  Being Digital.   This   treatise on    bits verses atoms, and access and mobility to free  content  was a primer  on how the worlds of interaction, entertainment and information would eventually merge.The paradox of his  book or any boo...

I remember...The Longest Not Hottest Day Of The Year A Bike And A Prayer Welcome to Sweden, with  a reputation for extreme winters, the safest cars on Earth.(see my SAAB story ) and ABBA.  I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to the Swedes than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is...starting with a bike tour. Stockholm has bike paths everywhere :. It's easy to get around the islands that make up the city. As long as I am riding a bike, I know I am the luckiest guy in the world. Amsterdam-In a city of 800,000,  there are 880,000 bicycles,  4x the number of cars Yet, the Swedes can't compete with their brethren across the Straight-Copenhagen's daily cycling masses.
