I'm the resident night owl here from home to welcome you, Leslie!

And Andi, thank you so much for your very descriptive account of your day. Seems you must have enjoyed Moscow's finest restaurant at that price!

Leslie, your lugging of the luggage reminds me of many years ago in London, except my galpals and I were lugging it UP steps, I think from the tube we took from the airport. Are there simply no elevators there? I just couldn't do that now. I somehow remember my daughter and I doing it in Paris, too, going up steps from the Metro with luggage. There is obviously not an ADA act in Europe/Russia!

Enjoy your day tomorrow! I am so glad we have the lens lads Ken, Brad, and Doug aboard this cruise. For sure, with your and Andi's posts, and their pix, we of the landlocked world will surely be satisfied! An advance welcome to Ngaire and Ken as well!
