• 2/7/2008 2:51:21 PMRussian Visa In HandThanks to ultra fast service by the Russian Consulate in Seattle and Federal Express, our Russian Visa's along with our passports were stamped and returned this afternoon.  Woo Hoo!!  That was the last of the "big stresses".

    For those of you who are reading this and about to follow in our footsteps - keep this in mind when you send anything via FedEx:
    If you fill out a FedEx mailing label by hand, you will not be sent tracking information.  If you fill the label out on-line and print it, you will.

    If you send a package that includes a FedEx return label inside:
    - If you filled out the return label on-line and printed it, you will be emailed a tracking number.
    - If you wrote out the return label by hand, you will not get a tracking number, so make sure you copy the number from the slip before you put it in.

    Just a little FYI for you :-)
