"Happy New Year to all of you loyal followers. I hope that you all had
a fantastic Holiday Season and wish you the best in 2009. I know that
2009 will always be a memorable year!! We left for Moscow the day
after the Gators won the National Championship...Go Gators!! The trip
over was exhausting...we spent about 26 hours from the time we
arrived at the Fort Lauderdale airport to the time we left the Moscow
airport. The airport was like a zoo .... we got three of our five pieces of
luggage and the other two stayed in London...hard to locate luggage
when you only speak English (and I thought the South Floridians were
rude)! The other two pieces of luggage are allegedly being delivered
tonight! Fortunately, Dad and I are feeling much better after sleeping
in a bed as opposed to the airplane! We spent the day walking around
Red Square and the Kremlin. The Russian architecture is absolutely
beautiful as you can see from the picture. In fact, we are not being
singled out as Americans as we were offered a tour in Italian, then
Spanish and when we spoke, finally English! Must be the dark hair!!
We are staying in Moscow because on Monday, January 12, I am
undergoing the required Moscow physical and then we will be flying
out early Tuesday to Kazan to see little Kyle :) Again Happy New
Year and Kyle is proud to say that he is part of Gator Nation, the
2008 National Champions!!
