Getting prepared for the trip

Welcome to my blog! I've been planning to do this for a while now and I'm glad I've finally set it up! Hopefully while I'm abroad I'll be able to find the time to update this pretty consistently and let everyone know how my first Moscow experience is going! I just recently started gathering and packing my things which leaves me about a week or so to finish, shouldn't be too bad. My flight is on Sept. 7th from Toronto with a layover in Amsterdam, and I should be arriving in Russia mid-afternoon on the 8th. Check back around then when things will hopefully be in full swing!
