Helsinki - Orlando

Everyone started from their homes pretty early to meet at the Terminal 2 of Helsinki-Vantaa airport around noon. We were sitting at the airport bar drinking our 1st drinks of the tour when Barren Earth guys joined us and the party got started right away.

Probably the most expesive beers in the world...

Finnair wasn't serving more than a couple or free beers and wine around the dinner, but this time they continued serving gin&tonic until the end of the flight, when we had to pay for them. I guess we never were behaving that bad on former flights, it was just a matter of getting no revenue from free drinks we consumed on our way to US.

Our tables got filled pretty quickly...

Krisse's turn to get g&t's

Immigration and lay-over at JFK airport were much easier than everyone thought and both bands got into the country without any problems.

We landed to Orlando on schedule and we got a nightliner-ride from the airport, which made our life much easier. Nobody felt that sleepy around 11pm (6am Finnish time) and we joined mr. Kotamäki, Tundra and Matias, who were sitting in a pub close-by. They were open until 2am and that was finally the time to pass-out into our bunks. Or we thought so until we found ourselves sitting in the Finntroll/Barren Earth nightliner. Our home was shared with Ensiferum, who were already asleep at that time.
