Visa are now printed, and in the hands of the State Department in D.C.
The tentative plan is to leave here on March 8, spend 4ish weeks on mandatory Home Leave in the United States, then a week of training in DC, and a week of consultations, with an aim towards arriving in Moscow ~April 22.
At least we will have mostly missed winter.

If you're wondering how we are feeling, I think this explains it well.

missed winter this year anyway... how long is your assignment? 2 years, with an option for a 3rd. There is a decent financial incentive if we opt for the 3rd. Also, 3 plane tickets to anywhere in the world in that 2 years.

Mother Russia will welcome you with open arms. This might be the discipline I need to get off the political board so you won't be implicated by my behavior. Congrats and enjoy your last few days in Deutschland.

Sounds a bit exciting (and scary) but you guys seem to adapt quite quickly.
Serious Question (because Ive been under a rock and do not watch much new anymore) where does the Russia/Ukraine conflict currently sit.

Do you do tours of the Volga like you do of the Rhine?

I passed on the information on the visas to my group from September. They all wanted me to pass on their best wishes for a great tour of duty for you and your better half.
