weekend in düsseldorf

The girls and I are off to a long weekend in Düsseldorf, Germany to meet up with an old friend. We were able to get a good deal on Ryan Air which is a British discount airline that offers dirt cheap flights throughout Europe. (I have heard it used as a verb as in, "His friends ryanaired over from London for the wedding...") Ryan Air flies out of lesser airports which means that we're in for a logistically interesting travel day. Our day will involve the following means of transportation:
  • Subway from our apartment to the Central Station (2 stops)
  • Train from Stockholm Central to Nyköping (1 hour)
  • Taxi from train station in Nyköping to Stockholm Skavska Airport (7 km)
  • Ryan Air flight to Weeze in Germany (1 hour, 50 minutes)
  • Bus from the Weeze airport to Düsseldorf (1 hours, 15 minutes)
  • Car from bus stop to my friend's house (unknown ... only a few minutes, I'm hoping)
Wish us luck!

Your trip sounds very complicated.
Don't get lost. Hope you all enjoy it.
It is good the girls are old enough to
enjoy it.
Your next trip is to Berkeley? or do you
plan other trips?

Our next trip is home, on Saturday. It'll be a long trip (four hour layover in Heathrow airport, London) but we are all looking forward to going home.
