Just how many of us will be in FSU this month? must be a good time to go.
I wish all a good time, I know I shall have one.
Friday night I shall meet a Russian Lady for the first time, am a little nervous but only for the trip not 4 meeting my lady. She has arranged an appartment for us, only 1 bedroom, thats a shame aint it ;o)))
My visa arrived yesturday curtiousy of russiadirect, on time and good service. My Internal flight that i have had so much trouble with has been sorted by peace travel, Great service although they made 1 rather large c**k up at first so I now have a spare 8 hrs or so in a moscow airport on my return, they have a driver meeting me to transfer between moscow airports who will have the tickets for my internal flight (this is my greatest concern, although am sure it will be fine).
My other concern is registering my visa. I am staying in private appartment so I must register my visa with the local OVIR. Am not sure what is involved with this although russiadirect have said that they will fax any documentation required by the OVIR if there is a problem.
Any experiances of this procedure i would like to hear about.
Well I have my slippers and also the token airport teddy bear gift, complete with England T-shirt.passport/Visa/US Dollars in small new notes/cell phone set to roaming and bags nearly packed.
I must be forgeting Something...Does the bear need a visa
Looks can be deceiving, I bet that other room is really cold ;)
Best of luck Trad, My flight leaves Heathrow at 8.55 am. If your flighing from heathrow in the morning let me know. and were sink some vodka in the bar to ease our nerve's.
I'm leaving for Rostov-on-Don Tuesday the 22nd. It's a long trip from Florida, but well worth it. This will be my third visit with the same lady. Things are very serious and we will be making those important plans for our future together. Then we will spend our last three days together in St Petersburg before I return home. I'm, getting excited.
Good luck everyone, southern, there are no direct flights from uk to Moldova, Iam having to fly with hungarian airlines and change at Budapest, going from Stanstead at 8.20, or would happily sink some vodka with you, good luck. You do not need good luck Tim, you know you are going to a woman you love..enjoy!!!
Ok I know it has been said before that it is good to use visa card to draw cash in Russia from Hole in Wall.
