Monday!

After 2 weeks it was hard - but also great - to be back at the office. A lot to do, which is when I get most done.. The coming week is quite busy. Thursday a group of 30 is doing the Aquavit trail - I'm really looking forward to meeting them all and show them around in our region. They are going to experience great food and a great tasting - I hope they will enjoy it.

On Friday we are hosting the 2009 Gilde Juleakevitt launch with Arcus and master distiller Halvor Heuch at Høsbjør Hotel with Norske Akevitters Venner. That is going to be great fun. So far apx 50 people has signed up for the launch, and we hope to get a few more before Friday. As a member of the board of Hedemark Akevittens Venner we are hoping to get as much people as possible, members and new potential member to join - and to see how important it is to value our Norwegian Heritage.

And then, Saturday morning it will be 2 long days with the Travel Festival in Oslo, Reisefestivalen -organized by Zine travel magazine. Akevittruten will have a stand at the festival and will promote our great tours and upcoming events. Festivals are always hard work, late nights and no sleep - but on the other hand it's also always great fun - meeting a lot of people and other colleagues in the travel trade industry. My friend and "partner in crime" - Espen Smith (as far as beer is concerned) will be helping me out and we'll be convincing you all to have a beer or an aquavit tasting as soon as possible. Let us show you! :)

Let me know if you are coming to the festival and I will try to fix you a discount. Send me an email to stine@akevittruten.no and let me know if you want a ticket for Saturday or Sunday.
