I think tomorrow may be your last day? Don't know anything about Skagen, except that they (or used to) make rather classic watches, presumably in the town. I have one on right now, very simple and easy to read, and IMO looks classy, though not exactly Cartier or Rolex of course. Lola Friends and I visited Skagen on an itinerary in 2017. It's a charming town, great for walking and shopping. My friends did an excursion to Eagle World and got to experience a falcon on their wrist.

Rare Lois R Posted September 7, 2023 Author #102 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Good morning from Skagen where it is cool/cold and right now a bit cloudy. I had booked a tour for this afternoon but changed my mind and will be taking the shuttle into town and just walking around. Leaving in a little while. This is the last day and I am staying in Cooenhagen for 1 night before flying home Saturday afternoon. Will post more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted September 9, 2023 Author #106 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Hello from the Eventyr Lounge at the Copehagen Airport. It is quite simple with some cold cuts/cheeses, salads, fruits and some soup, along with some mini chocolate chip muffins. Also several beers on tap, although I am having still water at the moment. First time at this airport for me and like many European airports, you must go through a maze of shops to get to where you need to go and in this case, I must say the place smelled like a perfume fsctory.....in a strong way. Thankfully this Lounge does not have that odor. My day in Copehagen was very nice with wonderful weather and lots of sunshine. I took a Canal cruise with 2 other gals I met on the cruise who were also staying at the Petri (more on the hotel coming). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted September 9, 2023 #107 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Copenhagen is one of my least favourite airports - unless you are in a lounge of course. As Lois says masses of shops, and then hardly anywhere to sit while you wait to fly if you are in cattle class. Which just to fly to the UK is satisfactory, with no larger a seat in business. I bet your canal cruise was lovely in the sunshine, Lois. Have a good flight/flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 9, 2023 Author #108 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Continuing with our day, we had the Conceierge book the 3 of us on a Canal cruise with a company called "Hey, Captain". I highly recommend them Only 12 people on the boat with lots of variety....English, Dutch, German and American. The tour guide was excellent. Anton, young and knowledgeable and easy on the eyes🙂, it was a 2 hour tour. 58.00 in US $ per person. We then found a place for lunch and then walked some more until I could not and we took their version of pedicab back to the hotel which was at about 3:30. To back up, we got to the hotel about 10:30. Rooms were not ready so we walked down to the river for the cruise. Strolled really as it was so lovely outside. So, got back to the hotel and I had met a couple on the cruise and we hit it off very well made plans to have dinner last night. They were not staying at the Petri but were kind enough to pick me up. We ate at a Spanish/Tapas place called Pintxos and for any of you who enjoy this type of meal, I HIGHLY recommend them. The food was fabulous! I would definitely go there again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted September 10, 2023 Author #110 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The nightmare is now happening. STUCK at JFK.......my flight home has been canceled and they re booked me for tomorrow. I am trying to find any airline to get me home today.

Bronxchihuahua Posted September 10, 2023 #112 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Did you check LaGuardia or Newark? LaGuardia is easy to get to. There might be a shuttle to Newark from JFK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 10, 2023 Author #113 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Hi, I checked everywhere..........it is ALL 3 airports. They have certain flights but with how things are looking? No guarantees about any of them. I certainly didn't want to sleep in the lovely confines of JFK overnight. I booked the same room at the TWA hotel for tonight and hopefully the flight Delta put me on for tomorrow morning will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume this is all because of the major storms that came up yesterday through the Carolinas, Virginia, etc., yesterday. A number of college football games in these areas got delayed on Saturday. Good luck making it home. Soon, we hope. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted September 10, 2023 #118 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I hope you can make lemonade out of lemons, and get into the City for a bit to explore. Lower Manhattan, especially on a weekend, is a wonderful place to just wander around for hours. A French marketplace (Le District), and Eataly, are both in that neighborhood. So you can pretend that you are still in Europe! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad I wont get to see my Jaguars play but at least I can watch some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyjones Posted September 10, 2023 #120 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Interesting! I guess I was lucky - I flew JFK to BDA this morning, after a night in the TWA after arriving from LHR yesterday - on time departure, early landing. Sorry about your cancellation Lois, hope it works out for you without too much more headache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I could see and what I heard, 100's of flights were canceled yesterday and again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 10, 2023 Author #122 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Well, I thought I,was flying home tomorrow morning.........but of course they changed it again. GRRRRRRRR.......... They really messed up and put me on another flight to West Palm Beach so that had to be changed and now they said there is a flight at 8pm tomorrow night and have me on it.

Camillus112 Posted September 10, 2023 #124 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Dear Lois, I am so sorry for your predicament. As I am from Puerto Rico, and knowing the perils of flying the mid Atlantic from late August till mid October, I would advise you to connect from Europe during these times through Charlotte and not through JFK. True, a longer flight, but our experience (to Syracuse) has been fine doing these dates. I do hope that you get home ASAP!! Sending best wishes, Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
