It feels like I've been here before ....

Yes, I am once again searching for airfares to Moscow (done -- Yikes!!! on the price), browsing for apartments -- I will kindly ignore the recommendation of my adoption agency that I stay at the Courtyard Marriott in downtown Moscow for the bargain price of $450 a night.  I think I'll try and and stay in the same apartment that we did on our first trip.  Although by no means luxurious, it was comfortable, clean, safe .... and most importantly in the best location possible.  Things will be tougher (?) with a baby around, but from this apartment, a simple 5 minute stroll down the street will take us to Red Square, the Kremlin, gorgeous Alexander Park, St. Basil ...not to mention Gum.  And, of course I get to apply for another visa to Russia -- love love love shipping off my passport to some place in New York, and waiting with bated breath to make sure it gets back in time for my trip.  On the upside, it feels like I've been here before.
