Yea Of The Day!!!
Miss Daisy, I can't believe it... Looks like there is a VERY GOOD chance I'll be there too (not yet set in stone but looking good for a May 13th arrival). Where are you staying? Unfortunately, I will be wisked quickly out of the city to Nakhodka. However, if I do get to go, I will be watching for you!

If I can answer any questions about the area or the process there, please pm me.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
