Hi, Fun stories. Glad they are yours, lol. Send a "survival" list to the group and we will get you the neccesities. You might consider assigning some of us to "the list" so you don't end up with 300 rolls of toilet paper and no Jack!!! (however that might make the bed a little more comfy!) Miss you!!!

Thanks for the news
It is so good to hear the adventure is going OK. It's NOT the USA but we wouldn't want it to be. I got a new respect for recycling, reusing, and wearing out. Small cars and small roads are the norm. We have way too much here and take it for granted. Enjoy the new experiences.

Terrific posting. And I've experienced the "up-close-and-personal" way Europeans are. Well, actually, everywhere I've been outside the states is like that. Especially China. Anyway, I will gladly send you a flyswatter and clothespins. If you put a fan or a heater blowing on your clothes while they are hanging, they will dry faster. Possibly put an extra spin cycle in the washer if you haven't already done so. Mom always hung everything outside and the breezes and sun dried the clothes. Kind of hard to do in an apartment, but do you have access to the roof? And way to go on using the public transportation! The best way to get around and explore is to dive right in. You go Vince! Looking forward to the next post. :0)

great looking place
hey great looking apartment. Do they charge extra for the art work out front. :-) I have tried to send a couple of comments but they do not seem to be going through. You know how computer challenged I am. Any way we finally got some rain yesterday. of course it hit when me and two friends where half way to Dockside for dinner. Got just under 1 inch of rain and it has made a difference in the lake.Had to turn back and just hang around on the Rio Siesta deck. Overcast and very humid here today..only 80 degrees. Hang in there and just keep smiling and nodding at the people there... some one will understand you one day. :-) Miss you bunches

YEA!
Glad you are on your way to a computer! Hopefully, it will help with the communication issues and make you feel a little warmer. Are we sure the computers come in English over there? lol. I miss you very much, Melissa

That was a great posting! I felt there with you...mark of a budding writer! What brand of tp is your favorite? I'll send you a pack. And supposedly I can mail you alcohol. Whether it will remain in it's packaging and make it to you is another matter. Can we send you a taped course on learning Russian? I'm glad you made it safe and sound and are already exploring. Have fun!

So glad to hear from you
I was getting concerned. Now I understand how the people worried with our travel blog. I just returned from Europe and all the things you say are the same in Europe. The key stays, diet is hard to find, there are few big stores, nothing is the same as America (try taco salad with endive and no cheese!), small rooms, little hot water, staying lost most of the time. You'll get used to it and have a grand adventure! Enjoy!

I MISS YOU IN GAINESVILLE
Today was the hardest day for all your friends here in GA too! It did not truely hit me till I was driving home from breakfast that my friend is gone for a year. No more two quick honks of the car horn for warning. No more "I was just out for errands and stopped by to say hello and have a JD". Mark and I went for the usual Sunday "Pig Out" at Fire Mountain and we missed you! Hope your flight was good.... Thinking of you often! R
