After a looooong wait, I've finally received my passport and visa from the Russian Embassy. I'll be departing from Detroit Airport tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 7:30am. I'll be flying to either Boston or Washington D.C. and from their to JFK Airport [the flight from Detroit to JFK direct was quite full]. From there I'll be departing JFK for Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport and eventually arriving in Volgograd around 5:30pm on Friday. It's going to be a days worth of travelling and I have the feeling that I'll be slightly exhausted once I arrive :-)
Well that is about all the news I have right now! I'll be sure to post once I arrive in Volgograd and find a place that has internet...until then, peace.
PS: Below is a picture that I took from Yandex.com (basically the Russian Google) of the apartment building I'll be living in. I'm not sure what floor my apartment is located on, but as you can see it will be another huuuuge apartment (similar to the one I lived in Moscow, a little bit smaller though).
I'm so excited that you're finally getting to leave for Volgograd! You're apartment looks nice. The building doesn't look quite as tall as the one in Moscow (although my building only has 4 floors and 8 apartments). I'm sure you're going to love it. Love you lots :)
