Sol and Pete on the TransSib

Hey

So, my flights are reserved, just waiting for a cheaper flight to happen with my flight from Beijing - I've been told I could save $100 if I wait. Think of all the piwo I can buy with that!

I've been on the fence, but I'm now leaning towards shooting film on this trip. Might be simpler, easier to avoid technical problems. So, be sure to leave some space in your pack for my shit, willya? You're a sweetie.

Oh, what kind of storage card do you use for your digital camera? There seem to be so many different sizes. I do have a card reader for my iPod, so I can bring that along for your use if it's compatible.

How was the wedding? Thanks for sending the photos in a timely fashion! ;-)

Alright, find a map: I'm in Klamath Falls, Ore., birthplace of Tara Lynn Fields. That's about the best thing about this ranch town.

Time for some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,
Sol

Hey buddy

Yeah, the Russian visa is a headache. We need to decide where we are staying in Moscow right away. And then get an agency to invite us. I've been going over the book - and online. It's confusing. What we need is the business visa (which allows for more flexibility). But we'll be ok.

And I'm not worried about getting train tickets. Long lines? Part of the experience. Hey, we'll get to spend that quality time together. Like I said, the train tickets are on me. Just got a random check in today's mail for $600 from AP. If that's not an omen, what is?

OK, I'm going back to the evening research. More soon.

Remember the sage Bosnians: "Polako, polako.."

So, me and Pete seem to have decided on dates: 11 April- 3 May. It's so close! But now I have to get off my ass and figure out the 2 dozen visas we'll need in order to avoid the Gulag.

I'm so excited, I don't know what more to type...

A bientot!
Sol
