Thing is he miss me and wanted me to come over so said yes!

But he Think i come another day so i can surprise

No Swede I've ever known speaks 'pidgin English'

sofie - your stories are getting crossed - He doesn't know you are coming, but he has a car so you don't need one, but then again he knows you are coming, but just another day . . .

It is getting pretty deep in here.

You have several flights ahead of you - at least 3 but probably more -- you'd better get to work booking.

Just took a quick look at Kayak and the best fare seems to be about $1800 in coach. You would need to leave a day or two in advance since the trip is about 23 hours - Stockholm to London Heathrow to either NY or DC to Dallas and then to Austin - so 4 flights. I would be afraid of some sort of problem in the flights and would leave on the 4th so you are sure of getting there by the 6th.

And I would definitely not travel without being sure he can pick you up - since getting around Texas without a car is practically impossible.

Oh, and am not a hockey fan - but since there is a boyfriend in the picture I think the hockey is actually immaterial.

And I'm sure he can get you a free ticket - all the players are given freebies - esp for teams with practically no audience.

Where does she say he is on the team?

oh that's true - sofie only said the friend will be AT the same game . . .

Why would one be at such a game unless one was on the team? And want one's girlfriend to be there?

This whole thread is a mystery. Still not sure it's on the up and up.

I also don't think she was hoping she would get a "ticket" she was talking about ticket to game, but airline ticket.

He is not in the team!! He is collage

Im not talking about game ticket!

This is total B.S. Swedes, especially college-aged, speak better English than a lot of Americans I've known.

Yes - and she started out saying she is going to a hockey game - as if that is the objective of the trip - not meeting a boyfriend.

And agree that the Swedes I know do have much better English.

we plan to go and look at the game together with a friend!

Oh, so now the boyfriend knows you're coming? So much for SURPRISE!

sofie: We can keep track of your story better than you can :D >)

its to long to travel for surprise so i had to tell him,

sure you did ;)
