Raffi, you are right. I do move there in one week. But what is the greatest greatest greatest is that I will be living on Nalbandian Street, near the Tourist Information Center. Yes yes yes, I got my apartment today. I can't tell you too much about it since I was too excited when my father called to concentrate on the receiver but can tell you this.

He came across the apartment and we made the offer on the spot. It is on the second floor of a building which is tucked away between nalbandian and abovian behind Hotel Yerevan. I remember him saying that it is in a little bak and it has nice balconies.

I can't wait to see it and am doing everything I can to stay calm and patient. Needless to say, and I am sure we all know this song by heart... it needs some work. I don't know the move in date or if I will be as brave as Lena or Raffi in Remodeling 101 but I do know that my family members who saw it told me that it was great.

A week left and I can't concentrate at work, I can't stand the humidity and heat and tomorrow I switch from counting days to hours. I am not exactly Countracula but I think I am motivated enough to get it right.

I had dinner with a bunch of LCO'ers who just came back from Yerevan and were planning their own journeys back to Armenia as I talked on and on and on about mine.

Every day I find out about someone else doing something fabulous in Armenia. Any word from the wise about smart things to bring, and what I should not bother lugging across?

See you all in a few... Kotayk anyone?
