The Reason

My Step-mom and I are both big travellers. The more remote, off the wall and random, the better. So when two very good friends of mine found themselves headed to Mongolia for work, Terri and I saw it as a perfect opportunity to visit a country that we both have always wanted to see. This blog is going to serve as a virtual trip planner for the two of us and then morph into a travel blog once we are actually, uhhh traveling, which looks to be sometime in July.

In Moscow

Hi All,

Wanted to dash a quick note and let everyone know that we arrived safely in Moscow this morning. Spent the day looking around town and checking out Red Square....Bad planning on our part though, as we just found out the Kremlin is closed on Thursdays. So, we will exchange seeing faberege eggs for embalmed dictators instead. Heading to Lenin's tomb and then off to a convent where Peter the Great stashed his unruly female relatives if time permits. Then its off to Mongolia. Can't post any pics now since I'm on the hotel computer and EVERYTHING in Moscow comes with a price (Having to pay to use a portable toilet, really?) Will check in again soon!
