Greetings from Moscow. Just wanted to let everyone know we made it to here with no problems.
The flight from Atlanta to Moscow was a bit bumpy at times and horribly uncomfortable at others. But all in all, it went by pretty quickly. The plane was the coolest one we've been on in all our trips. We had our own movie control system in every seat so you could watch whatever you wanted.
By the way, for those of you who haven't seen "What Happens in Vegas", Brandy and I give it two thumbs up. Also, I give Leatherheads, 3 1/2 stars.
Although Brandy spent a majority of the time staring out the window at the beautiful full moon that accompanied us along the way.
We got to our apartment around 12:30 but since check-in wasn't until two, we had to find something to do for an hour and half.
So what did we do? Of course we went to Starbucks. But here's the funny part, we are staying at an apartment about 20 minutes from the Red Square and there isn't a front lobby so here we are, walking down a busy shopping district, toting our suitcases and bags and a lime green stroller with no baby in it. The looks we were getting were pretty comical.
So after falling asleep in Starbucks (Brandy said I was snoring), it was 2:00 and time to check-in. The apartment is pretty decent. Has a living room, bedroom, kitchen and best of all, free internet and phone. Although the two guys living next door have questionable decorating tastes. Their entire front door is covered in newspapers. (Pictures to follow)
We took a two hour power nap and then met a couple of American couples for dinner. One of the couples is with CHI and just picked up their child who is about 3 weeks younger than Neil. We are getting excited.
So it's off to bed. Tomorrow, we will be picked up at 2:30 to go for our physical. One other nice surprise we got from our translator...it's going to cost us $1500 for it. Lucky us.
Off to bed now. We really need your prayers that tomorrow will go well and there will be no problems.
We'll report back after we're done (because we have free internet).
Good night and good luck,
Coby and Brandy

You're there!!! YEA!! Can't wait to hear more!!! We are so excited for you.
I'm glad you made it safely. I can't believe you had to carry your stuff all over Arbat until you could check in-that is too funny! I've been praying for your medicals. I look forward to your update!
Glad that you made it there safely. The physicals are harmless. Just a complete waste of time and money.
