I'm feeling also like having a holiday, no better timing than in November when I can skip the dark, cold period in Finland. After that in December I'll do just couple more weeks as a mailman and then I'm done, for life (in this job) :D

Nineteen hours of airport/flying fun.

Nineteen hours? Shame you don't live in Finland - from Helsinki it is a direct flight to Bangkok in only ten hours. This might be because Finns really like Thailand :D
