There are two ways to get to Åre from Stockholm. The first is by train and the second is by plane. You would assume that the train would obviously be the cheapest. That is not the case. It was cheaper for us to fly there, so Val (MX), Jade (FR), and Amy (CA). We all met at Arlanda Airport quite early in the morning to meet up and go through security, which surprisingly went fast for an airport that size. We then flew for a couple hours and then had about another hour drive to the cabin we were staying at. Since we fly we were some of the first ones to arrive.
Once arriving at the house it became a slow and steady stream of more people arriving. This was really exciting for the most of us because it was the first time meeting each other, but it felt like we had known each other for forever. This could be contributed to the wonders of social media and instant messaging (at this point we had all been messaging for around 3+ months).
That night we had a very traditional Swedish Fall dinner (will be in explained in a later post) of crayfish and cheese cake. After eating, cleaning, and listening to the rules/schedule a few of us decided to go exploring.
