amazing... it looks like it would be two full days of traveling just to
get out there... 1 full day of airplane riding from usa to stockholm
(i'd be soundly drenched in alcohol for that flight), and 1 day or
overnight train from stockholm, with an hour bus ride to umea - not to
mention all the fun of the exchanges along the way. i'd be wasted
trying to recover for another day at the end of each traveling session,
so, imo, it would have to be at least two-week trip to make any sense
for someone on this side of the deep blue... .

If you flew into Umea you would save about a day.


A day in travel time, but you'd lose it in getting un-jetlagged. I prefer to
get caught up on my time zones while riding the train, and arrive ready to
go. What you lose on the roundabouts....
