| Got the visas all set to go! |
| Saturday, September 08, 2007 |
Our visas got here this morning so it looks like we're all set for heading out bright and early Tuesday morning. We have a meeting with our agency Monday morning to go over the details of the trip.
The whole visa thing was a bit odd. You have to send in your passports to get the visas and then they ship everything back to you. Of course all this was Fedex'd back and forth so at least you have tracking numbers, but it's a bit scary knowing you're leaving in a few days and you're giving away your passport.
But the firm we used was great and everything went off without a hitch. |

The visa thing made me nervous too. Glad you got them back OK and are set to go!
I hope you have an wonderful trip to Russia! Bring snacks to eat in the middle of the night - due to the time-change, you may be waking up frequently with a growling stomach.

I wish you a safe trip!! (I just submitted for my visa, too. I'm sure I'll get it 'just in time'!)
I look forward to following your journey.

It is your turn at long last. Please keep us posted along the way. Enjoy your trip, we can't wait to hear all about it.

Best of luck to you!! Godspeed -- and keep us posted! Are you planning on blogging from Russia?

Along with snacks, bring a deck of cards. Mike and I played a lot of Rummy 500 at 3am when we were wide awake. Good luck and we are very happy for you.

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it."
