England....Here I come!

So it is 5:30 for me. In an hour we will all be going to our farewell dinner at the Stragonov Palace.

It is so hard to believe, that before long, I'll be getting ready to fly out and leave Russia behind! I have had such a wonderful time here, and have gotten so used to it... It is hard to imagine leaving. Justin, Rob and I went to exchange some money, and on the way back we were talking about how hard it is realize it is actually time to leave. Two weeks ago, even four weeks ago, seemed so long. And now its over!

I did a lot of packing yesterday, so I didn't have to do as much today, but I still had to figure out where to stick things! Thankfully Stephanie had extra room and is able to take back some of my larger souvies. Yay!

We are leaving here tomorrow morning about 3:30 or 4am. Our plane takes off at about 6 I believe. Then I sit in the airport in Frankfurt for almost 8 hours before my plane leaves at 3 for London. I'll land there about 3:45/4pm.

I'll probably not be on the computer till Wed or Thursday. Because on Tuesday I'm going to go down to the HP preimire. Yes I'm crazy.

Any way... I guess I'll sign off.
Love to you all!!!

Hey Honey,

Mom here. How nice to get one more blog from Russia!

I look forward to hearing about the history from another great city: London, as well hearing about the "brothers and sisters" there.

Please greet the ones we know with a hug and those we don't with affection.

Look at Wikipedia to read London's histroy which began about AD 43 by the Romans!


Bon voyage!

Love,
Mom

Lydia,

I finally got a chance yesterday and today to read your blog so I'm all caught up.

It's obvious from your posts that you had a really great time. I wish I could have come along so I could see Russia too.

I found a post purporting to be a spoiler for the last HP book. You will have to wait till you get home to see it though.

I've also read all the emails that mom has forwarded to me. You've made us proud Lydia.

Also in case no one has mentioned it (I know they have as I've read you're blog) you take some very fine pictures.

love
dad
