Ooooo it's getting close now. Officially, less than a week before the great Belarussian expedition begins.
Passport?
Check!
Visa?
Check!
Shots?
Didn't need any, so...Check!
Seats Selected on the planes?
after some minor difficulties...CHECK, CHECK!
New toys to play with one the plane?
Check-ity, check, check.
Now last minute items, will be thought over in the next two days (hmmmm..) and hopefully procured over the weekend (REI trip baby! haha)
Does Katie have a packing list....uhh, surprisingly not yet, but it is formulating in the little spherical thing that sits on my shoulders as we, uh, not sure "speak" is the right term here but eh, "speak", why not.
Brace yourselves for more frequent posts from the "Blue-eyed Country" (aka White Russia, aka The country of Castles, known to everyone else as Belarus). It's the "Blue-eyed country" not because there are a lot of blue eyed people there, as was my first guess, but because of all the lakes. After finishing the blog keep playing with the google maps by zooming out and you will see why, just go west of Zaslonava.
Just some fun facts for you in case you want to look up some of the places that we will be.
Our flight stop in Frankfurt then on to Minsk (Capital of Belarus)
From there we are off to Zaslonava and Zamossa (sounds more like Za-mosh-e-a). I dare you to try and find that second one. Even Google maps, I had to have Igor help me. That being said since you know how to spell it you are at a distinct advantage, as my phonetically intuitive ear went for the more reasonable Zamoshia.
There are some other places that we will be visiting too, but for now try and find those bad boys. I will post a map pin pointing locations for you as we go.
Anyway, that's enough for you lovelies tonight. :) Keep checking back for new posts as the adventure continues!

Thanks for the help, I found Zamossa with the help of Google maps. Is Zamossa Igor's grandmother's village?
Yep. The one with wells and outhouses. :)
