Like the saying goes, you never truly appreciate what you have until its gone. In this case, temporarily (and not memory).
Just got back from a 21-day stint in Russia, 2-weeks being in Chita, Siberia (few hours from both the Mongolia and China borders). Yes, my noids were freezing. Coming back to 70+ degree weather in ATL is absolutely great. But seeing how people live is truly despairing. Anyone who posts to this forum better not complain about their conditions 'cuz you have absolutely no clue on well-off you are compared to others.
Personally, just can't wait to get back onto the lake in warm weather and just enjoy some R&R.
And yes, Lakebum, the boys became US citizens as soon as they touched down at JFK Airport on 3/4, at 3:42-pm. I'm still on Moscow time and will probably be totally screwed-up (more so than usual) for a couple days due to jet-lag. But the whole experience was worth it. We'll be putting-together a web-page on our journey, including Aeroplots flying gas-cans and kamikazee drivers (NASCAR is much safer, and, rules of the road are only suggestions). And no, I did not drink the water, thus, did not get the Kremlins Revenge.
