Almost Home

Well, we were supposed to stay in a hotel tonight, but all the rooms are full. Tomorrow is March 8 - Women's Day. Celebrated all over the place, I guess, except in the United States. For some reason I just can't get excited about it. Guess Mother's Day and Birthday do it for me. So we are still here at Jon and Tracy's place.

We were supposed to be on the train tonight. This paragraph should come before the one above. :):) But due to the afore mentioned holiday - a huge holiday here in Ukraine, but not as huge as New Year - there were no coupe's available on either of the two Kherson trains. So, we called Sergei K. who then called Sasha to see if he was available to come and get us.

Yes, but only if he could arrive tomorrow morning and not tonight as we had originally hoped. So, tomorrow morning around 8 we should get a phone call from Sasha so he can get directions on how to find this place as he's never been here before.

Hopefully, if all goes well, we should be home by 6 pm tomorrow night. Hopefully. I never count on things like that here, though, so we'll see.

We probably won't have internet right away as Irina told us the cable is not currently working. Can't do dial up either as this is a new computer and is without the dial up feature we need for our dial up internet provider. So - due to the holiday tomorrow, we may not have internet until Tuesday (the old 3 day weekend, you know!). Again - we'll see how it goes.

I am looking forward to being home. It will be nice to have more clothing to wear than what fits in this one suitcase. That is almost all I've had for over 4 months now (I did buy 3 or 4 items at Walmart). And it will be nice to see my cat, my plants, my fish (if any are still alive).

But most of all, it will be absolutely wonderful to have my own bed and pillow again! I have missed them! A lot! A very much a lot!
