Guess Who is Going to Russia???

No not Mr. Smith! I am the one who will be flying to Russia!!!!!! I am just finalizing everything now and will post more as I know more. I have to go book those flights!!!

Thank you everyone. I could not have come this far without everyone's encouragement. There is going to be one small change to the blog. At this point many blogs become private. I have chosen not to do that because I personally benefited from reading others stories. In an effort to make communication easier for my family and close friends I have decided to allow anonymous comments. I realize that there may be more people reading along then I know about.

Thank you all for your kind words.
