Begin Tour in Moscow

Begin 3-week Grand Circle Travel tour in Moscow, after spending 3 hours at the Moscow Airport. First impression of Russia, at the airport, is that it is horribly behind the times in processing tourists that is slowed down considerably by manually checking databases. But the tour guides are wonderful and knowledgeable.

I also want to note the obvious: there appears a date and time in each video. This was the first time I used my Sony Handycam video recorder (and digital camera) on an organized tour and did not know how to turn off this function.
