Plans for my trip to Kazakhstan are coming together. I have purchased airline tickets! I leave on April 13th and return on July 26th. I will be traveling through Amsterdam both directions. Also, yesterday I sent my visa application away. It was my first visa application this year, so I had to remember how to apply correctly. It is a pretty detailed process. Thankfully, I had notes from last year and could also access info from the embassy online if needed.
I am starting to sort and pack items. It is too early to pack for my actual trip, but being gone four months requires a little more thought than just a short trip. I am also enjoying the times I get to spend with friends. I am starting to prepare myself emotionally for the sadness of leaving people here and the joy of seeing friends in Kazakhstan that I haven't seen since September. It's sometimes difficult to have such completely differing emotions related to one thing.
I continue to be excited about what this time in Kazakhstan will hold. I am not looking forward to all the details that need to take place in the coming weeks, but soon they will all be behind me and I will be on a plane to my "home" in Kazakhstan. Thanks for walking beside me on this journey.
