Challenge 1: Getting up. Hold on, not really, since neither NBCC (Non-Blonde Clergy Chick) or BCC (Blonde Clergy Chick) could sleep very well.
Challenge 2: Choosing a magazine to bring. Oh, the choices. Should one choose an arty—farty mag to prove one's cultural cred? Or maybe something ambitious and serious, like the Economist, to present oneself as good leadership material? Or the ever-so-ironic smut magazine? Ok, maybe not. Neither did we pick the Barbie magazine or the very stylish Danish interior design mag. The result: fashion mags. Yeah, we admit, the Clergy Chicks luv them glossy pages. And, as a bonus, there were scores of pretty magazines on the plane too. We only read the really serious ones, of course. Cross our hearts, we did!
Challenge 3: Being very good and kind, we of course volunteered to get bumped to a later flight, if SAS needed our seats. The 300 euro thank you-check had nothing to do with our willingness to help. The only thing we got from this un-selfish act was getting to board last. On our original flight. Without the 300 euros.
Challenge 4: Air conditioning on the plane. As bad as ever.
Challenge 5. Maneuvering the United customer ”service”. Ha.
Challenge 6: The Big Mac-munching female fashion crime against humanity, or at least fellow passengers, waiting across the row from us for the Atlanta flight. Seeing to much in spite of full coverage is apparently possible.
See? For these two Clergy Chicks, there is no such thing as a challenge to big. There are only possibilities. *cue smarmy smile*
Long journeys like this actually are great opportunities to for once get to talk about Bible interpretation, priestly formation, parish life and all those things that take a little too much time to fit into the daily life of picking up kids from school, cleaning dishes, writing sermons, spending too much time on facebook, etc etc.

Long time has passed since Clergy Chicks went a traveling together. But now order is restored.
In Sweden midsummer celebration is going on. But in the home of non blonde Clergy Chick packing replaces dancing around the pole singing about the poor frogs without ears and tail. Oh, the joy.
There are loads of expectations for the coming conference. Many happy reunions, many new aquintances and some serious inspiration coming up! Follow us here (and if you are a young clergy woman -do join the network) and do comment. We like questions, praise and an occational report from reality.

again on her own
So, blonde CC has been traveling again. And again without her less blonde soul sister. Blonde CC went souz to Germany, to visit friends and see some of ze cool Luzersites.
And of course to work a little too. Zere is no traveling wizout some work.
Berlin was nice. Sunny and fun. Productive and efficient.
Eisleben was also nice. Sunny and fun. And not efficient at all.
Next time, maybe blonde CC can lure her non-blonde sister to come wiz her? One does get ze funniest accent.

traveling home
Blonde Clergy Chick took her family to non-blonde CC's home. That must be the best way to travel, staying with friends of the kind that have transcended the barrier between friends and family. Yeah, blonde CC is very happy to have a friend like non-blonde CC. She rocks.
(And no, this is not written just to ensure continued hospitality. Honestly.)

London
Non blonde CC is in London. Working. The youth group got funds for a fun trip. We are doing plenty of touristy stuff. Madame Tussau's (how do you spell her name?), shopping, sights, a musical and sunday, before we rush home we'll go to a church down town and hopefully see some british younger churchgoers then.
It is great, but non blonde CC misses blonde CC.

Confessions
Blonde Clergy Chick also has been traveling without her sister. Yes, she is ashamed.
She even visited churches, talked to other clergy, listened to a sermon (although in a funny and almost non-understandable language), climbed bell towers and pulpits, drank wine. Yes, it was a real Clergy Chick fiesta, and all of this without non-blonde CC. Though it must be admitted, there was almost no shopping on this trip, which of course would have driven non-blonde CC mad.
Next time, huh?

Choo Choo
On the train again. Blonde Clergy Chick does not really lament the disappearance of steam trains, is pretty happy about the high speed ones, but still, they don't sound as good, do they?
