First update...

Cheese Pizza & Pepsi Light

All I can say is wow! How blessed we are! God has a blessed us with a little girl.

Having never traveled further than any popular vacation destination Amy & I had a lot to learn. We left out of St. Louis last Saturday morning headed to Washington DC. Our flight to DC was delayed, but we had ample time due to a layover. Our flight from DC to Moscow was roughly 11 hours. I quickly found out that we were in the wrong seats, economy is not were you want to be. United has an Economy Select, which is the same seat but with more leg room. So on the trip home we upgraded, what a difference.

Monday we spent the day trying to adjust our jet lag ( I never did adjust) and taking a tour of the city. It is a huge city, we were told there are 19 million people and it is the world’s most expensive city to live in. The city is beautiful with all of its old buildings mixed in with new video billboards every where. We stayed at the Hilton in Moscow, which I would recommend, beautiful place with great service. That evening for dinner we went to the hotel restaurant and had our first cheese pizza with Pepsi lights. It was a simple dinner that gave us a flavor of home and it didn’t break our budget. Moscow didn’t get the title of Most Expensive city for nothing. Couple of sodas and our little pizza was roughly 1500 rubels, roughly $50.

More news to come! (as I get time to update)
