Where in the World is Amanda? 120205

Hello friends and family,
OK… Plans are a-changin' again. I'm still in Sweden right now. As you may have heard, the Russian consulate here in Stockholm gave me some issues. I was unable to procure my visa in the time period needed. Therefore, I will be flying back to the States on Saturday (tomorrow). I will be home for one week. I can obtain a visa the same day in the US. I will then fly to Russia on 10 Dec (I will fly via Atlanta. Frieda, I will send you my itinerary.). I will return to the States 17 Dec.
There is good news in all of this… while I will be in Russia for my birthday (blah! 21 again!), I will be home for my wedding anniversary.
In other good news, we have firmed up our trip to Mexico. We will be going to San Felipe. This is the northern most tourist area on the Sea of Cortes. Everything I read about the Sea of Cortes raves about how stellar it is. I will let you know.
Anyway, I've got to run. Today is my last day in Stockholm and I have so much to do, and I was up all night making travel arrangements due to the blasted time difference.
Best regards,
Amanda
