And as far as our stranded night that we have to spend in Amsterdam on our way home, we will be staying at a hotel that is right at the airport. Phew! Do you think Kyle and I should go check out the red light district? Ummm ... NO.

Lodging: Check!
Phew! I got our lodging taken care of today. We have been all over the board with where to stay (i.e. hotel or apartment), how much to pay, etc. We finally decided to rent one of Oksana's studio apartments for 65 euros a night, which is $93 a night. We also will have a fridge and microwave in our apartment, so hopefully that will save us from having to eat out for every single meal. Maybe. Oh, and we will have a washer and dryer ... and internet service so I can keep our blog updated. But only if you promise to leave us comments so we know you love us. I have spoke with many people who have stayed in Oksana's apartments and my agency is confident that our apartment is in a good location. Actually, Oksana told me the apartment is in an elite location off Nevsky ... ooh, I feel special and important! And for anyone who cares about our safety, the apartment is in a secure building right on a main thorofare (is that a word?) on the third floor.

YAY! it is all coming together.
Here is a comment for you to show you how loved you are! :)
I'm glad you have it all worked out. I hope you will try the food more than Markay did.:)

Excitement! I found St. Pete to be easier on my digestive system than Moscow. It's more 'western' and if you had to, you could live off of Pizza Hut. We stayed in a great flat in the Admiralty and loved it. When we arrived at 5:30am on an overnight train from Moscow, Mark led me around a non-descript corner and voila, there was the Winter Palace. What a sight and being so early, there were no tourists. I'm so jealous. It's an amazing place. Just don't be surprised if during dinner, at a regular 'ol restaurant, if you hear music and a young woman beings a strip tease. We found that to be commonplace 'entertainment' in the Russian restaurants.
