We left Raleigh on Tuesday(Happy Valentines Day!!) around 12:00 and arrived in New York shortly after maybe 130. Got on to the flight for Moscow around 430. Upon boarding I got taken out by an elderly Russian women and her suitcase. She decided she wanted to put her luggage in the overhead bin and I guess I was in the way. I now have a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my thigh. Nice...but she looked like someone that was not to be messed with so I just limped on to my seat.
We flew Delta this trip and have decided Aeroflot was nicer. But either way its still a 10 hour flight and it cant end soon enough.
Our driver met us at the airport and we took the train and then the subway back to our hotel. Last time we drove but he said the traffic was so terrible that this would be faster. It was a 30 minute train ride and 4 subway stops so not to bad.
We took a nap and then ventured out to our standby Sbarro. You really cant go wrong with pizza! Our driver had mentioned checking out Red Square at night with the ice skating rink that is there this time of year. It is right across the street from our hotel so its a just a quick walk underground to pop up on the other side. Pictures below are from our night time tour of Red Square. It was snowing and was truly very beautiful!
The last picture below is a picture of our hotel which we love staying here! It is across the street from Red Square and we have found several restaurants that we enjoy close by.
