Traveling to Norway with 1 mamma, 2 kids and a budget - Day 1

If you have ever considered visiting Norway but thought it´s too expensive or too difficult with small children, then follow along as I write about my Norwegian adventure as a mom on her own with a 4 and 6 year old.

This summer my good friend, Ida, got married in Kongsberg and I took the invitation as the perfect reason to finally head to Norway. We bought tickets, packed our bags, got to the airport, and found out Owen´s passport was too close to expiring and he would not be allowed on the plane. We couldn´t believe it! Our return ticket was in July, his passport expires in September, but that wasn´t good enough.  So, I took the kids and headed to Norway as a single mamma. 

Flying to Amsterdam

We flew Minneapolis to Amsterdam, and then Amsterdam to Oslo.  The kids did remarkably well.  They had headphones and coloring books in their backpacks. They had eye masks and gum, and I bought an over the counter kid sleep aid to help with the jet lag. I also packed a few simple gifts that they could open when the waiting/ boredom started to set in. We watched movies, slept for 5 or 6 hours, and made it to Oslo!  Fortunately, it is summer and very light out. So staying awake until bedtime was not too difficult.  It also really helped to meet up with a friend for dinner and darts.  The four year old is both dangerous and a quick learner!  Finally we settled in for a good night sleep.

So what did we spend on day 1?  Not a whole lot, to be honest. I brought snacks from home, so we didn´t buy lunch at the airport.  I did pay for a latte and a croissant to share while waiting in Amsterdam. When we got to Oslo, we took the flybuss to the house we are staying at, and then went to a friend´s house and had dinner (which they cooked).  So the only other expense was the bus ticket back to our house.  I must add here that it is extremely helpful to know people/ have friends in foreign countries. It can mean a free place to stay, a free meal, and free rides to various destinations. 

Total cost for day 1 (not counting the plane tickets): less than $40.

  • I acquired my first home at the beginning of the year. To some, lottery players appear ridiculous, while we view it as a chance for an improved future. I’m known as Megan Taylor and I have played the lottery for ten years, yet I haven’t won anything substantial. In my pursuit of understanding how to win better, I was advised to consult Lord Zuma the Priest who provided me with the precise 6 numbers that helped me secure the Mega Millions jackpot of $310 million after using his spell powers and following his guidance. Lord Zuma services is top notch and I believe your dreams aren’t finished unless you decide they are. Contact Lord Zuma the Priest, and he will assist you in realizing your aspirations..

  • “In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication enabled me to recover my lost Bitcoin funds back — more than €560.000 DEM to my BTC wallet. What once felt impossible became a reality thanks to their support. If you have lost Bitcoin through scams, hacking, failed withdrawals, or similar challenges, don’t lose hope. I strongly recommend Capital Crypto Recover Service to anyone seeking a reliable and effective solution for recovering any wallet assets.
