Wanted to let you all know that we made it to Russia. More details to follow, but here are a few quick facts of our trip: 1) Made it to the Seattle/Tacoma airport with time to spare. 2) Flew to London's Heathrow Airport, where we only had 55 minutes to make our connecting flight. Unfortunately, long security lines kept us from getting to the right terminal until about 15 minutes after we were supposed to have left. Fortunately, they held the plane for us. 3) Flew to Moscow. Unfortunately, our luggage didn't make it. Fortunately, this meant an incredibly speedy trip through customs (and airport officials promised our luggage would follow (even helped us with all the paperwork). 4) Patrick Neifert picked us up from the airport at about 1 in the morning. He would have been earlier except for a random run-in with police and a trip to the wrong airport. 5) We made it, here, to an apartment/hotel in downtown Moscow. Liz Sugden is hosting (and helping to pick up extra supplies to tide us over until our luggage arrives.
Next adventure: riding Moscow's Metro system.
