Day before Thanksgiving and it is cold and rainy here in Northern California - we will have to get ready for much colder weather once we hit Moscow. 

Moscow start date

We are making good progress on getting our Moscow trip together - looks like the start date for Larry will be on Feb 9, 2009. Brrrrrr.

We have also secured a small, but cozy three bedroom apt about two blocks from the VDNKh metro station. it's about 20 minutes into the center of Moscow. We will be renting from an American journalist who now lives in Whitestone, NY. Of course, all roads lead me back to Long Island, no matter how far I travel.
