Well I just got back from my 3 week trip to Russia about 45 minutes ago. I'm tired, sad, exhausted and still waiting for the relieved feeling to kick in... but I don't think it's coming anytime soon.

The trip was awesome, but the one who makes my place feel like a home is missing.

I'll detail my trip tomorrow, after I fill in a friend over a bottle of Russia's finest tonight. (read: cry on a shoulder :yes: )

I've been doing that every weekend for 2 months in a row (last time I saw her) so I hear you, man.

What vodka did you bring over? :)

WB Shawn. I will be in touch probably before I leave Thursday. How did you bring vodka back? I thought it would be confiscated or stolen, either from carry-on or checked bags. I would like to bring back some Putinka (sentimental value, to me it all tastes about the same).

I hope everything is okay. Your message is almost ominous.

I focused on "the trip was awesome" and quickly read the rest as being sad because he is missing his sweetie. Hopefully that is all he means.

I agree; I am concerned for them.

She has been able to visit to him a few times (I believe) and now this trip to visit to her (and I think he's been there before).

So it isn't like they've been away from each other for years now.

And they have started the K-1 process, so there is an end coming.

Here is why my message was short.

6 hour flight from Egypt to Ofu, Russia.

12 hours to pack, take photos, visit with family and

3 hour drive to Ekaterinburg

6 hour flight to Moscow

8 hour flight to NY

6 hour flight to Utah

5 hour flight to Alaska

I'm still not ready to write out the report, just letting you all know all is well.

Aren't there flights from Alaska to Vladivostok? I would tend to think that going that way is shorter than crossing 3/4 of the world going east.

Yeah you'd think there would be a shorter route, but there really isn't. Lufthansa runs some routes from Anchorage to Germany over the pole in the summer time, that shaves about 10 hours off the trip.

Good to have you back. Standing by for the full report.....

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"
