The Move... Part 1

We moved out of the house last Wednesday because the packers were so efficient and had left nothing for us to sit on...
The kids always seem to have fun at any hotel we stay in... but after 3 days of living on top of each other, they were ready to head on out. Little did they know...

We departed Houston on Saturday night at 11:45pm. The flight over to Moscow was fairly uneventful - the kids slept most of the way. We were in Business class on Singapore Airlines - which, I tell you, is the way to fly. We had our own in demand flight system to watch whatever we wanted (which for me included 2 Hindi movies and a lesson in Mandarin). The seats folded out into 6 foot beds - INCREDIBLE! And each meal was 4 courses.

When we landed in Moscow, the first impression I had walking off the aircraft was "GREY". Everything was grey, everyone was wearing grey. Very European, lots of smokers. Not the most well kept airport in the world. But it was still unimaginable that we were standing on Russian soil. I was actually there - albeit just the airport.
I only have a few minutes of Internet since the one in our room does not work, so more later...
