A few lessons learnt – don’t assume, double check everything and (possibly) don’t go to Russia!

” But can’t you see Sarah Palin’s place from your hotel room?”
Thanks for making us laugh. It definitely brightened a very dark day for us.
Korean BBQ for dinner tonight!

You two! Indeed you WILL laugh about this—often and for many many years to come. (I have to admit when I read that the only way you could leave the country was to be deported I let out a large morning guffaw!) I met you the morning after your first night in New York after your (spits loudly now) “hotel” dissed you, and you came up shining–as you will after this! And lord knows–blinis and borscht! There are a helluva lot worse last meals!

I really wanted to ask more about Caviar and how much you had and did you like it? also the price . I can see you have more to cope with at this time .Good luck and keep smiling xx
