Visas delivered!

Dear all,

Today my parents received their Visas issued by the Russian Consulate in New York.  It was a very quick turn around.  In addition, I got a reminder that my Russian passport is still inside and I have two months until they destroy it!  Gotta love the Russians.

Take care,

David The Maksim

Flights are booked!

Dear friends,

I am happy to announce that our flights are booked for Russia.  We are flying Aeroflot into Sheremetyevo, Moscow.  Our flight itinerary is as follows:


  • Boston, MA - New York, JFK
  • New York, JFK - Moscow Shermetyevo, Russia.

We leave America at 2:20 PM and arrive in Russia at 7:40 AM.  It is only a 9 hour flight, which really isn't that bad.  I had the pleasure of traveling to Ireland last summer and the flight was 7hr and 30min.  So just think, only an hour or so more.  I will bring movies and of course try to sleep the entire way over!

It is almost the end of the April, meaning my college lets out very soon.  Finals week is next week and then it is SUMMER!  I am beyond thrilled and look forward to this great trip I will embark on.  As always, do contact me with any questions, comments, or just to chat at d-schunk@comcast.net.

Enjoy your week and take care,

David Maksim
