My first time abroad Once my husband and I were talking with our friend from Stockholm and he mentioned that he had moved in new apartment but still had the previous one paied for a month. So he had free apartment to live in. The problem was that my husband was working that time and our kids and I didn't have visas. The day after that we applied for visas, they should had been ready in two weeks on Friday and we booked a ferry in two weeks on Monday at 6pm and paid it. Two weeks passed, on Friday we called the Visa Center and we were told our visas were not ready yet. My husband canceled the booking, we lost money we paid and I was trying not to be upset. Suddenly on Monday at midday we received a message that our visas were ready. Things started to move fast. My husband darted to take visas, called the ferry company, explained what had happened and asked to cancel the cancellation . Fortunately for us, they were surprised but agreed. I had only 4 hours to collect all things for kids and myself and got to the seaport. The problem was that I had never been abroad that time, I had never had a ferry trip before, so I didn't know what it looked like. In addition I haven't been preparing for the trip till last weekend to not to be sad in case of its cancellation. And last weekend I thought we we were not going to. So I was absolutely unprepared. I didn't say anything to kids just to let them sleep calmly. During their nap I picked up all things. After they had woken up they were very surprised. They had been jumping and laughing until I put them into the car and drove fast to the seaport, because it was about 4pm. I didn't know the route and followed instructions of GPS navigator, but unfortunately I took a wrong turn. I found myself driving in the opposite direction! I thought it was a disaster! At the end we picked up my husband in the middle of the route and he dropped us off. We we in time. Untill now it's the best travel experience we love to talk about.
