The final days in Stockholm are always the most stressful as I attempt to pack all items for a safe arrival home and coordinate shipment. The company who had promised the crate for me was not able to deliver it at the date requested (2 months ago) so we had to find a plan B. Remember all the items we moved to the storage unit? Well we had to find a bigger unit and one that was accessible to a truck so that all could be placed together in anticipation of a pick up later this month. Monday was spent transporting items to the new unit and Tuesday we picked up our winnings from the Monday auction (lots of great art including a Karl Abel) and then carefully packing it all. David and I worked from 4:00-8:30 just wrapping the paintings and securing the boxes. He kept saying..."this is so difficult" uh...yeah?! Luckily the unit is near a McDonalds so he was able to take numerous breaks. We then headed to a new hotel near the airport, filled car (with correct gas-diesel) returned car and got to hotel in time to have a 10:00 dinner. We "slept fast" because we had a 5:30AM shuttle to the airport. Home...here we come!
