Maybe you can take a cruise to Finland while you're here!
I'm glad for you Dom!!!
@Yonna: Well, I'd love to go to Finland, hence it's very far away from Smaland (that's where I will spent most of the time). The longest trip will be Stockholm, for it is about five and a half hours away from Manni's house. You did mention your Swedish relatives, when we were meeting each other at Passion, didn't you? Where do they live? Manni's house is in the town Ryssby and the next city Ljungby is about 16 miles away.
@Hilary: Back in 2005, we would spend two days on the house and then took out one day (apart from our trip to Stockholm, where we were staying at for four days) off, plus we had great trips to Växjö, Glasriket, Stockholm, Broby etc.
@Maureen: I sincerely hope to find lots of items. Unfortunetly, I happened to find one of the 1996 Kinder series only. Nevertheless, Manni was lucky to find a deck of Swedish collectors card (with some doubles and triples to trade), some Smurf comics and a very lovely vase for me last year.
@all: If you want to, I will post some pics from my 2005 trip as of tomorrow.
