Hey all, we're checking in this morning from the basement computer room/kitchen of a hostel we've checked into in Vilnius, Lithuania. We just came off a nine hour bus ride from Warsaw, Poland. You see, we're trying to get to St. Petersburg, Russia. The problem is that the trains from Warsaw go through Belarus and Belarus is like the last Soviet-style throwback commie country and we have to have a visa to just ride a train through and it's a hassle. So we had to take the bus. We got in at about 8am this morning and as you can probably guess, you don't get very good sleep on the bus.
Anyway, we grabbed our stuff and went into the train station and we're booked for a train to St. Pete's at 6pm tomorrow. Our necks are very sore because all through the night, as one does when they're trying to sleep sitting up, our heads would slowly nod forward as we'd nod off and then jerk back abruptly. So I booked a sleeper for tomorrow.
That's about it for this post. We've got a couple days to check out Lithuania and then it's on to Mother Russia. We'll try and put some pictures up too.
To keep ya'll busy while we're gone we're going to start an essay contest. The best answer gets some sort of souviner from our travels.
We'll give you two possible subjects:
1. Why you miss BnD and can't wait for us to come home and hang out.
2. Why you're glad BnD are far away and why we should never come home.
Enjoy!

1. I miss BnD because they're the most attractive people I know and with them out of the country, the only friend I'm left with is Marcus, and we're a couple of ugly bastards.
2. I'm glad BnD are far away because I hate people who fall in love and get engaged, and then combine both of their names into something cutesy like "BnD." I think you should never come home because it'll give you more time to enjoy the currency exchange rate in Russia and eastern Europe.
When you put it that way Jonathan, we kind of hate ourselves too.
BnD (TomKat and Brangelina of Dallas)
I can't believe I'm online at the same time as you guys. You have no idea how much craziness you're missing here back in the States, what with all the collapsing bridges and Democratic candidates dissing each other. The country's going to hell in a handbag without you.
Bill... I was never much for writing essays. Just ask Ms. Grumbles! But, I miss you guys. Hope you are having a fun Saturday night.
I miss BnD because they are the funniest, most intelligent and outrageous couple I know! Without you guys around to BS with and make fun of other people (and you know EXACTLY who I'm talking about here), oh and push old ladies out of the way, it is just another boring news day. I can't wait to treat you guys to a Dot's cheeseburger or biscuits and gravy when you get back ... and you can hold me to it!!! Seriously, I do miss you guys and can't wait to hear all your stories when you get back! Krystal
I miss them becase I am afraid that I will have to pay the bill!
