I'm leavin', on a jet plane

Got my plane tickets yesterday for my trip next month to the old country, staryj kraj, Karpatska Rus'... I'll be gone the second half of June. Exciting! Right?

So why do I feel apprehensive about it? I dunno. It's gonna be pretty much the same itinerary I had last year, except that I'll also be 3 days in Krynica, Poland at the World Congress of Rusyns and then a day or two in Bratislava visiting friends. But something still makes me a little less-than thrilled. Maybe it's that I'll be spending the next month preparing for the trip, and then by the time I get back it will just about be July and summer will be 1/3 over at that point.

I imagine I will have the best time once I'm there, just like last year. (Hey, maybe I'll even blog from over there.) If you want to read about a film that my friend I'll be staying with was in, check this out.
