Memorable Swedish Club moment: Well, this was actually pre- me joining Swedish Club, but it was a Swedish field trip, so I think it somewhat counts.  We were going to Ikea, and we were meeting at "our usual spot" to carpool out there, of which I knew nothing of its whereabouts.  Though my friend assured me that she knew exactly where we were going, so we took what was to be a brief detour, got lost from the group, wandered aimlessly before realizing we had no idea where we were going, finally arrived at said destination ten minutes behind schedule only to see our van driving away without us!  We did make it to Ikea on our own, but that was a challenge all on its own, and we arrived pretty much as everyone else was wrapping things up and preparing to head back!
