the only regret

Despite sleepless nights we had a great trip. Running to pick up Ryan's and Elijah's visas was the most "exciting" thing we had to do, and that was OK by us! If I have any regrets, it's that the trip was so short. I am sure my parents and my aunt would have loved to have us for longer, and I could have used more time to see friends. Since I haven't seen my Dad in 3.5 years, and since our time was so limited, it was reserved exclusively for my relatives. So, for those of you reading this in Russia, do not hold it against me that I didn't call you. I would have loved to see each and every one of you, and I hope that our next visit will be long enough to do just that.
