3rd and final trip to Tambov, Russia

Hi Everyone,
Well, we've made it to Russia, AGAIN!  That plane ride SUCKS!  Too long of a time in a confined space.

Darn Verizon Blackberry still doesn't work - dialed *228 and CRAP still no signal.  I will call support when we get to Tambov from our room's phone.

We are at the train station and we are in a NICE room (sarcasm) - you rent it by the hour - so you can only imagine...I just need a place to lie down and get a few winks.....

I am attaching the view from our room's window.. Train doesn't leave until 10 p.m and it is only 1:30p.m.

Prayers for Steve's mom - she is in the hospital - had a mild stroke and getting a heart catherization done tomorrow... We hated to leave her.. but Olesya needs us here and Grandma wanted us to come and get her.  Hang in there Linda, in 2 more weeks she will be home for good!  We love you!  Please take care of yourself.
Tamra & Stephen
