Another good thing

We're going to Lithuania! We have wanted to do a family trip since last year, but it just hasn't been possible. Now we're going to go for Spring Break and Bogdan's birthday. I have worked really hard to pull everything together to find the cheapest and best travel options. Travel is so complicated here now. We'll be gone for eight days, and a full half of that is travel time. I made a dated checklist of when the different kinds of tickets for each leg of the trip would go on sale, and I finally worked through all that. When Raia first started talking about LCC it was just a few hours on a low cost airline to hop to Lithuania. Now it's all this. But we're going, and we're excited.

Yes, we're going to have to leave this poor little fluffball behind again:

Can you see how he's clinging to Bogdan with both front and back paws? That was just about going out into the scary stairwell. Leo doesn't know about the trip yet. But he had a wonderful time with friends when we went to Kherson, and he'll be staying with different friends this time.
