I’ve been asked by several of you to post our exact flight information, so I’ll do that in a few minutes, but first, some last minute thoughts and questions.
If you wish to contact myself and Bonnie while we’re away, I’m *hoping* that I’ll have at least a few minutes a few times during the trip to hop online, so please send any email to moore2russia@gmail.com
I haven’t really given a lot of thought to what being out of the country for 12 days actually means, at least to my digital lifestyle. Now, I’ve read about some of the Internet cafe’s that are in Moscow, but I don’t really know if I’ll have the time and how close any of them are to our hotel, but for all intents and purposes, I’m planning to be “offline” for the next 12 days, except for hopefully the occasional email check MAYBE. Does anyone have any experience for managing the madness that will take place once I return? I’ll be turning on a vacation message to my email at work, but I think that’s the only measure I plan on taking. Comment spam shouldn’t be a problem, but I might go and turn off trackbacks because I have had some problems there. I will definitely miss my daily reads and especially all of the sites and news sources that I get through my RSS reader.
Well, without any further adieu, here is our flight info:

**It really freaks me out that we do this psuedo time-travel thing by completing a ~9hour flight in what on paper is 2 hours, thanks to the time difference.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you both during your trip. I hope that all goes smoothly and that there are not major delays or holdups with customs
Good luck in everything you do while you are there. I love you both!
Have an amazing trip! I am praying for both of you. Justin, that flying stuff is a breeze. You’ll be great! Love you both!!!!!
Justin and Bonnie,
Thanks for the flight info. I know the next few hours are going to be hectic for you guys, but I just wanted to let you know that my heart will be with you the next few weeks… Like Stan said on Sunday, you guys are going to Russia to “represent” for all of us back here. As a last word of encouragement, this poem came to mind:
The will of God will never take you
Where the grace of God cannot keep you,
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
Where the power of God cannot endow you.
The will of God will never take you
Where the spirit of God cannot work through you,
Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
Where the army of God cannot protect you,
Where the hands of God cannot mold you.
The will of God will never take you
Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
Where the mercy of God cannot sustain you,
Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,
Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.
The will of God will never take you
Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,
Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.

I LOVE YOU GUYS! SEE YOU AGAIN SOON!
