Dear Olga and Luba,

I am very sorry, but I think I must cancel this trip. I really want to come to Terney! However, I just cannot get a ticket… I have been calling Aeroflot every day this week, and they always tell me I have to wait, and maybe maybe there will a space for me to fly to Vladivostok. But when (if!) that space comes, I don’t think there will be enough time to get a visa. Also, even though my university gave me some money, I would still need $1000, which I simply do not have. I haven’t found a summer job yet, either.

So this is the end of months of planning… I hope that some other year, when I am a little older and wiser about how to plan trips, and a little richer too, then I will be able to come to Terney and Vladivostok!
