My Elena arrives in 12 days for holiday!!!
« on: April 17, 2007, 12:15:46 PM »
First, I want to say "thank God for Spell Check" on this board.  It will save

me a lot of time.

I hope to report her trip to me (Florida) as the days go by.  She will be

here for 3 weeks.  We are going to be very busy doing this time.  Cruise to

Nassau, 2 nights at anna maria island on the gulf and 2 days at seaworld

and 1 day deep sea fishing (her idea)!!! It should be a good time

together. I will start to post after she arrives.  Wish me luck.

She is from Moscow.  Her flat is about 15 minutes from SVO-1.  It's great when I get off the plane and after passport control, I am at her in no time ;D

Great, I was there a month ago, (not her flat ;) I hasten to add!  ) but Moscow and I spent many happy hours trudging around SVO1 and SVO2  ::)

Just curious, Chris. Why Sheremetyevo? The last few time I've visited Russia I've flown BMI/Transaero from LHR to Domodedovo. Much nicer airport, IMV with faster check-in and cleaner bogs.
:P

During my last trip I had a 8 hour lay over in moscow going to Sochi, and a 24 hour lay over ( missed conection) in moscow on the way home. So tell me please does Elena have any friends who also live near SVO 1 or 2.... :-) Passing the time with devushka tour guide would have been nice.

Sounds like a great vacation.  Was it hard for Your Elena to get a tourist visa for the USA?

I will be in Moscow from May 2nd to the 7th. 
It's all about the journey

Good luck.  You're one of the lucky few whose RW can come here for a visit before jumping in via the K-1/K-3 route.  We look forward to hearing more about all this.

I flew into SVO1 from Schiphol in Holland, then a week later I flew from SVO1 to Ufa, so I spent a lot of time in both airports. On my way back home I actually visited  5 different airports in the same day, not because I wanted too I might add, but it was the only place the planes would land  ;)

Ah...say no more. Holland, eh? We won't ask what you were doing there.

To get back OT, Mrs Gorkster arrives in Blighty next month. We hope that she won't have to do that many more times. As the experienced members will not need reminding; separation gets harder every time you're parted.

Thanks. There's nothing I look forward to more than shopping for shoes and lingerie at M&S.

Sorry Leftshoe, she does not have friends around SVO 1 or 2.  I understand the problem that you have when you come to SVO-2.  Change airports and wait about 9 hours.  Ask Freebird, he does it all the time. 

As Freebird has said, he has been to my Elena's flat.  Elena and I picked him up at SVO-2 and took a bus to her flat.  While he got a shower, Elena fixed him lunch.  Then we had dinner in Moscow in the early evening with St. Donaz and wife,  Freebird, Elena and I, and one of the sweetest loveliest women in Moscow, Helen !!!!  What an evening....

She arrives tomorrow.  I am doing the last minute cleaning (not to her

standards).  I told her on the phone that it would not be clean like her flat. 

She said "don't worry, your a man".  I guess that means that i am off the

hook!!  I have just finished painting the outside of the house.  Had car

cleaned and detaled.  Washed the sheets and towels.  Is there anything I

am missing????  LOL


I feel like it's my first day at school....

Greet her with a nice bunch of flowers it will start you off on a good footing, and earn you a few brownie points just in case the house is not up to muster  ;D
