See you in Irkutsk
Novosibirsk. We'll miss this awesome city, and I think at least a few of us will be back to visit. It's a great town.

| Notes: I just realized that today is exactly 365 days, one full year, since we began our journey! It's hard to believe... Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that we picked up our vehicles from Autoland (Land Rover) Siberia today, and we said goodbye to our friend there, Vitaly. We'll miss you, Vitaly. We'll miss all of you. We also said goodbye to his co-worker, Kate. I hate to leave, and I think my teammies would agree that this is a difficult goodbye. I, for one, am practically crying. I hate goodbyes... We'll be traveling to Irkutsk for a couple of days, and e-mail will likely be impossible. Don't worry about us. We'll chat when we reach the city. There, we get to meet up with Land Rover friends and journalists! Until next time, much love from your Drive Around the World crew! Happy Halloween! (N.O.) | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
