So it looks like I will have to drive to the lake house early am to let the contractors in and be done by 11am.<br /><br />Scott's assistant called to let me know that a Limo is picking me up at 2pm tomorrow. Nice! I am all packed and ready, of course.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6032611816092922131-7855832673568789916?l=lansblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lan Nguyennoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032611816092922131.post-16184721848138444832011-04-17T02:14:00.000-07:002011-04-18T20:46:33.280-07:00Adventures to Eurasia - DelayedHouston, TX<br /><div>My orientation trip to Eurasia is delayed for a few days. I needed my passport to travel to Calgary and was told that I could apply for the 24 hr-Russian visa upon my return to Houston. Well, the Russian officials changed their minds; no more 24 hr application and approval! So Scott had to fly out without me.<br /><div><br /></div><div>I am meeting Scott during his next stop in Atyrau, Kazakhstan on Wednesday. It sucks that I will have to go through Amsterdam and wait around for 4 hrs! I don't like Amsterdam. The last time I was in Amsterdam airport (which was 22ish years ago), I had my camera stolen. Dutch thieves watch out! I'm back; older and meaner!<br /><br />In the mean time, work continues at the lake house. I painted today and I will likely clean and organize tomorrow. We are still waiting for the kitchen cabinets which are expected to be installed when Scott and I are back on May 1. We should be totally moved in during the second week of May. Can't wait!!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6032611816092922131-1618472184813844483?l=lansblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lan Nguyennoreply@blogger.com0
