We had quite a bit of luggage

Due to bad planning, I had to work on the day of my departure, friday 14th. I was planning to leave at 11, once I had finished the computers I was bringing as a gift to the local churches. Me and my brother have a project going, where we ship computers that have been discarded by norwegian companies, but still usable to some organizations in Cameroon. As a sidenote, I equip them with Ubunty(Feisty in this case). The computers we had gotten were not bad at all, 15" LCD monitors with Pentium 4 processors and 512MB RAM.

I finally got out from work at 13:30, and headed right home to do the final packing. I had already packed most of my stuff, so pretty much the only thing left was to weigh the stuff, and make sure we didn't go above the airline limit of 20 kgs. Me and my girlfriend Anja also had a lot of other stuff to do, so time was short. At 15:45, we had finally delivered all the Christmas presents, pets and other stuff. We just had 30 minutes before the cab got there to pic us up, so we had to change in a hurry. After 25 minutes of frenzy and total chaos, we were waiting impatiently for the cab, which had been ordered for 16:10. Checkin was closing at 16:35, so now time was really short. At last he arrived, 10 minutes late, and we arrived at the airport 5 minutes before checkin closed, just to discover that the airpline was delayed by half an hour. The rest of the journey went smooth, and we arrived in Oslo without further delays. We then proceeded to Peppes Pizza for a meal, before going to the hotel to check in for the night. At around ten, my brother and aunt showed up, as they were joining us from Stavanger and Bergen respectively. The flight for Brussels the next day was leaving at 06:50, with checkin starting at 05:05, so we pretty much went straight to bed, with our alarms set for 04:15, an ungodly time to be waking up.
