Getting ready

Hey everyone, I just set up this blog so that while I spend the year in Russia I can keep you updated. The packing has begun and the nerves have started up. Thanks to a great rummage sale I now am the owner of my very own American Tourist suitcase. Now all I need to do is figure out what to put in it. I leave in just under 3 weeks for the lovely St. Petersburg. This year is going to be exciting for sure, going to a new place with new people and a new language. I am looking forward to all the experiences and opportunities I will have in the next 10 months. Feel free to leave comments and questions in the blog! Do Svidaniya-until we meet again.
