Well, it is early in the morning of my departure and try as I might, I have been unable to sleep all night. I am feeling completely terrified at this point. I guess the reality of what I'm about to do has sunk in now that I'm finally leaving. I am unable to fathom that in just two nights, I'll be sleeping in another bed in a city miles and miles away from my own. I have a feeling that the first few weeks will be rough. I hope my Russian mommy understands that I'll be missing home.
I'll say goodbye now. I'll miss all of you. Please feel free to send me an e-mail when you're up to it.
Mom, Dad, Maddie, Susie, and Bronwen, I miss you already. I'll call you when I get there and will try to be in touch as often as I need to.
Much love to all,
Maria

Maria...all the best. This is an adventure of a life time. Remember all that you see and learn no one can take from you. When you return to Florida to visit your grandparents bring pictures....would love to see all that you experienced.
We leave for Australia/New Zealand in 8 days.....we will be gone for 2 months. Will try and log on to your blog to see how things are going.
All the best...Pam and Barb
We loved hearing your voice last night. You sounded happy and strong. Your Russian parents must be very warm people. Keep up the good attitude! Congrats on your Russian skills! We are so happy to know you arrived safe and sound! Love, Your Number One Fan, Mom
You are still Ga-Ga's "little angel"........Oh, I'm so proud of you and your adventurous spirit. I'll be looking forward to your messages. I'm sure you'll be so busy, but knowing you, you will find the time to keep us informed. It sounds as if you have a lovely Russian family. When you can please send their daughters name etc. and we will look her up when we get to Lake Tahoe. (no plans pending but it will happen).......We are cheering for you. Be happy!!
Love, Love, Love...........Gag's
Tiny Girl Numero Uno,
It is so cool that you can blog so soon from over yonder. Are you jet-legged? How's the weather?
