Hallelujah it's here!

It's Here! It's Here! It's HERE!!!!

My Russia visa arrived today!

I know, I know, I'm being a wee bit melodramatic, but I was the happiest girl on Hilton Head Island today when the package with my passport and Russia visa was delivered to me this morning.

It's not that I doubted the visa would be issued (ok, maybe there was just an ounce of doubt).  But I have to admit I did breathe a sigh of relief when it arrived.  Now that there is a Russian visa beautifully stuck on one of the pages in my passport it all seems much more real...I'm really going.

And now it's time to bust out my Google Translate App and learn a few basic words in Russian...hello, thank you and please are probably three good ones to start with...Wish me luck!
