I met some elderly folks from Russia when I was in nurses training.They were there when they had the revolution (1917).One was a man that was in the guards for Zar Nicholis,The White Russians.The other a elderly lady that took a trip back and brought me some soil from Russia.She passed not long after she came back.So I've been in love with Russia ever since.But I realize their Russia is but a dream.Today's Russia is not the same as back then. Linda,they left me with their dream Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -----Original Message----- From: Roses <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 02:28:01 To: southern-chat<[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Travels.. Yes, I went on Missions trips both times. First I went to Vladivostok Russia (just above Korea and across the sea from Japan), flying from Anchorage. But our flight changed coming home and instead of coming back to Anchorage, we flew to Moscow for overnight, then to New York then back to Seattle then Portland. I flew around the top of the world, literally. A year later, I went to Donetsk Ukraine, via Frankfurt Germany and Kiev Ukraine, both ways. Both trips for 10 days each. And, this was a gal that never wanted to leave the United States.

There are little cubicles all along the side with one long aisle. There were two sets of bunk beds in each cubicle with just room to walk between them. Those bunks were 'hard' too. > > Emma > > > From: [email protected] > > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > > Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 22:38:14 -0800 > > Subject: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Travels.. > > > > We visited Salzburg, Austria.
