Tim: The title of the blog is the Russian word for 'the sights'. We'll be sharing a few of the sights we see, here on this blog.
I am sad that I didn't start the blog earlier. So much of the journey has already happened. We decided that we were going to travel to Russia in November when Jodi was awarded a scholarship. Since then there has been itinerary planning, budgeting, shopping, researching, christmas, bookings, weddings, visas etc. My sage wife Jodi commented to me as we landed in Heathrow that time kept going, faithful as ever.
Jodi: A week ago we didn't know where our visas were, whether someone was picking us up at Heathrow, if we'd have enough money. God has been very generous to us, through our friends and family. When I hopped on the internet yesterday morning, our Brisy friends in London said they'd come to the Airport for us and I found $500 in our account, a scholarship awarded to Tim by his uni for overseas study!
Tim: Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to us making it off our land girt by sea.
We left Sydney on schedule, arrived slightly ahead of schedule, and were picked up by our very generous friends Matt and Ellen Gregora, without incident. We're off to a good start, so stay tuned!
