I know nearly three more months will pass before I see you in Riga, but I also know how you like to plan ahead, Mom, and so I wanted to give you a few things to think about. You always say that "this trip" you plan to pack lighter. Well, this trip you really can. As you can see, underwear is not in short supply here. It comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and fabrics. Also, leave your hair supplies at home. While you're in Latvia, you can experiment and see if blonds really do have more fun.
And, Dad, on my morning jog, I stopped in a place on the corner. The signs said "Fenikss" and "Bars". Since the place is so close to my flat, I thought it could be the perfect place for us to exercise. Turns out, "Fenikss" has nothing to with "fitness," though. The blinking lights and ringing slot machines inside proved it. And, you can guess that "Bars" has nothing to do with barbells. So, maybe no reason to bring your tennis shoes. Your cash will be more useful.
Keep the home fires burning. I'll be making all of the necessary preparations here.
Can't wait to see you!
Love,
Tim
PS-The package arrived today. Thanks for everything!

I don't know quite how to say this, but the third pair of underwear from the right...well...I recognize them.
I only hope you will share photos of your Mom in the blond wig. Maybe Dad too!! :-)
You should have used a cave scarf on the tram. Have you not learned any tricks in Latvia? You perhaps needed more Bob or Bill Merris classes back in the day.
