Twelve hours until lift-off

In about twelve hours I’ll be on my way to St. Petersburg, Russia for the Spring 2010 semester at Smolny College. I plan on keeping this blog as up to date as possible during my four months there, and this is serving as my introductory post so I don’t give people links to a blank page! I’ve also added some contact information on the right column of the site so you know how to get in touch with me while I’m there.

Tomorrow I’m leaving LAX at 8:45AM and from there heading to Dulles Airport near Washington, D.C. (flight about five hours) then Vienna, Austria (about eight hours) and then off to St. Petersburg (about three hours), planning to arrive on January 27 at 3:00PM (4:00AM in Los Angeles).


Wednesday’s high in St. Petersburg is 2ºF. I have no idea what that means or feels like, so this should be interesting…

    Dude I’ll fly to Hawaii, then to Japan, then to St. Petersburg. It’s just in the opposite direction of your flight. We’ll meet up!

    2 degrees F is really cold…that’s all you need to know…just stay inside until it gets to 25 or so…
