Hang in there, guys

Pepper plants in trayMy pepper plants lovingly raised from seed are ready to go into the ground, but they'll have to wait until I get back from the AIGA conference in Nashville. I thought I'd plant them tonight after supper, but instead...

Joanne & I spent a couple of not-so-happy hours scouring the Internet for a decent, reasonably priced and centrally-located hotel in St. Petersburg. 

You've heard the designer's rule of thumb,  right? I can do it good, cheap and fast. Pick any two. Well, hotels in St. Petersburg follow a similar rule. Those that are centrally located tend to be either very expensive or very unattractive. Two or three that sounded good in the guidebooks got horrible reviews at TripAdvisor.com. A couple sounded nice, but they are small (10-14 rooms) and were booked for the dates in August we need.

Travel to Russia seems to be a bit more difficult than most of the other countries we've visited. Let's hope it's worth it.
