travel + catching up on other stuff

[prosewitch]

Sitting in the Toronto airport, where happily there is free wifi. Unhappily, however, I was told that my luggage from Indianapolis would check straight through to Amsterdam, but no, it did not--I had to retrieve 2 giant suitcases from the carousel and lug them between terminals and recheck them

Thanks! I'll probably be posting about dissertation stuff as I'm going through it. :)

[prosewitch]

Thank you! :)

Aside from the luggage...

It sounds like a lot fantastic news there! I can't wait to hear about your adventures in Estonia.

Re: Aside from the luggage...

[prosewitch]

Thanks! I'm hoping to not only get acquainted with Estonia, but also see some of the surrounding countries.

If I remember Helsinki, Finalnd is about a 2 hour ride by fairy. Russia is right next door and there are so many other countries close by. Great places to visit if you ask me. :)
I really am looking forward to hearing your opinions on old town in Tallinn. That city has a very special place in my heart.

Re: :)

[prosewitch]

Yeah, Helsinki's about 2 hrs away (but I have to add in the 2.5 hr bus to get from Tartu to Tallinn). Also, I just found out that a colleague has Russian family, so that should help me get an invitation letter so I can get a visa to visit. Yay! :)

Very cool on the prize! (:

I hope the rest of your travels go well. I look forward to reading about your adventures in Estonia!

[prosewitch]

Thanks! I will try to post about the cool parts about living/traveling elsewhere, and not just the "omg dissertation" parts. :)
