The Summer here has been just lazy comfortable life with my dog.Strolling daily from a terrace bar to another makes fun, when a sunny day. Although I have been on the wagon volontarily for quite a while.
A couple of weeks ago I got visitors from Australia, my long-time friends David and Denise Maxwell from Gold Coast did stay in Helsinki for three nights. I had planned a plenty of program for them, but after a dinner with my sons Kristian and Tomas,and a beautiful day on Hästö island about 50 km westwards from Helsinki, where Risto and Tuuti Keinonen hosted us marvellously, David decided (even retired) to start to work with his former business friends. They moved to Lahti, and I have not seen them since.
Poor Denise! For David the only sense of life is work ( business). A vacation is for him boring and total vaste of time.
Now I have started to book new adventures. In Sept./Oct. I shall be cruising at Black Sea for seven nigths visiting harbours in four countries. And later on Oct.24 I'll fly to Los Angeles to start once again a trip around the world with a Singles Cruise with "Mariner of the Seas" of Royal Caribbean, for one week at Mexican Riviera.
When back in L.A. I'll continue to Singapore for three days. After that everything will be kept open exept that I shall be back in Finland a couple of days before Christmas.

About Me
- Matti Ahjopalo
- I was born on Nov.24, 1940, just 9 months after Winter War against Russia was ended.My father died, when I was 3 years old. My mother remarried, when I was 8. He was a good man but I never got along him. After my military service in Finnish Navy I studied in University of Helsinki,but never did finish it partly because living in Germany and Spain for almost two years, partly because of my laziness and eager participation in student life. With 25 I was appointed as an assistant buyer to leading Finnish Mail-order and Department Store chain. I was promoted one and half years later as Buying Manager, but decided after 4 successful years start by my own. I found a financing and started an Import- wholesale company. After 16 years I owned it !00%. I worked there until 2006. After several shorter or longer relationships with several women I finally married with 40 years. We got two sons , and were married for 24 years. My sons lead today the company I started 45 years ago very fine with nice results internationally, too. And meanwhile they managed to have 4 grandchildren , 2 boys and 2 girls.
