It is getting close.  Only a week to go.  Allan and I are leaving here on Wed to go to Albania and Greece before we get to Bulgaria.  So I wanted to pass a long some information. 

 First of all.  We have had several questions about what to wear.  This is going to be a casual event.  Which means no shirt/tie/jacket for men or suits for women.  However, I would suggest that you wear slacks and shirts during the day and especially when we go to tour the Monastery.  In the even you can wear shorts, etc.  Allan is going to be dressed in BFTF t-shirts.  So take your lead from him.

 Second of all.  We have also had several requests for a contact number in Bulgaria.  Allan and I have moved into the 21st Century and both got Blackberry Storms with a global SIM card.  So from the US you just dial the area code and number.  And if you are in Europe you know how to do it and you can teach us when we all get there.  But if you need to reach us by all means use our numbers.

 My number is:  336-287-6405

Allan’s number is:  336-406-8451

 Allan has posted the airport pick up schedule and information on taking public transportation from the bus station.  

See you soon.
