ready to go

its been in interesting job getting ready for this trip. the lack of space and inability to take much on the multiple flights required to get to Siberia has created some issues. hopefully we will have chosen the correct things and prepared ourselves well for the trip. I'm sure we will have mucked up in some way but finding that out will be half the fun. i will do my best to keep this upto date this time as historically i have been utter crap at updating my progress and keeping records.
