Well, although this huge journey kinda sounds like a nightmare, I think it's amazing that you're doing this whole trip to Russia. I imagine it's pretty amazing. Although I live rather close to Russia, I've never been and I've really heard it's a lovely country. Very beautiful...So that must be a wonderful experience.
Besides to be there during the World Cup, in all that excitement, to actually see it, feel it...must really be a lot of fun!
