We arrived into Moscow this morning a little later than usual. There was a delay departing Atlanta. With the tail winds you encounter crossing the Atlantic, you can make up a lot of time. All in all, a good flight. Plane was about 1/3 full so everyone had space to spread out.
We were thinking that today was going to be a hectic day...turns out that's tomorrow. We just went to the CSS office for a bit, grocery store and then we got checked into the apartment. Great location next to New Arbat street (a tourist haven), 5-10 minute walk to the US embassy. Clean and comfortable. Dmitry and those guys do an excellent job at Peace Travel.
I won't even try to recount everything we're going to try to do tomorrow, but definately getting Daniel is on the list (somewhere near the bottom actually, later in the day). There's some hope that if we can sweet talk the Moscow Police Station into rushing things for us, maybe, JUST MAYBE, we can leave early from Russian and get home. We're looking at instead of being here until Wed Jan 29th, we could leave on like this coming Saturday or Sunday. Cross fingers, cross toes and say a little prayer...
Mary's passed out sleeping, I'm wide awake posting and emailing...

So very glad to hear that you're safely there and that you're able to get a bit of rest before the excitement. Prayers that everything goes well tomorrow, and that you're home as soon as possible!
