Look ma, I'm legal!

YAY! My passport returned to me today after a few long weeks of separation. The reward for my wait? A wonderful Russian visa page! I'm now legally allowed to live in the Russian Federation from May 15th to August 13th 2011.

Now it's on to unpacking my clothes from my apartment, hanging it all up, deciding what I want to take to Russia, taking it all down, and repacking it all! It's going to be a bitch, but I'm so excited! 

I'm all set to go to Russia. All I have to do now is make the trip from RDU to JFK to Helsinki to St. Peterburg! Давай!
