In Moscow...
Jul. 4th, 2008 05:46 pmAll of the familiar Internet cafes have either been shut down around here (Moscow center), or it became too expensive to keep them here. In any event, I'm paying something like $16 for one hour of access from my hotel room.
The plane left two hours late, as a result of an electrical problem and a change in wind direction at Atlanta. I'm glad I upgraded myself to business class, even if I didn't get a lot of sleep. The legroom and ability to just recline was heavenly!
They've put us up at the Marriott Courtyard, as the Aurora has probably priced itself somewhere into the stratosphere (the room here is 5000 RUR, at about 23 RUR per dollar). I've been for a walk (to the non-existent Internet shops), and plan to touch base with my sister-in-law later, but not too much later, as we are expected to be ready to leave tomorrow morning, bright an early, at 6 am.
I'm sure I'll sleep well tonight.
Cheers...
