ExGingi's 3 generation wedding & Pesach trip to Russia.

You just didn't check your luggage further? Most airports do it for you automatically, no?

Luggage was checked all the way through. But systems don't properly sync, so anyone who checked in at DME with an onward flight from CAI needed to go to the transfer desk at CAI to get the boarding pass for the next flight. There they asked for the luggage tags and entered their numbers in the system before printing the boarding passes for the next flight (we were not told in Moscow that the tag numbers will need to be re-entered in CAI).

So you made sure your luggage didn't continue by simply not giving them your luggage tag info? So this wouldn't work elsewhere when you check luggage.

No. I didn't check in any luggage under my reservation at DME. I was the only one using HC. You didn't really think that all 18 tickets were booked the same way, did you?

What do you do for laundry when traveling?

For trips over a week? Find a way to do it there.

Yup. Awesome feeling coming home to no laundry.

Thread name checks out. Definitely looks like 3 generations of laundry there!

I can't imagine having to schlep 3.5 weeks of clothing on a trip. Sounds tough.

we did. Still came home with mountains of laundry

We did as much as we could. But when flight back is Isru Chag, there's no way you won't bring back laundry.

"Find a way to do it there" is sometimes easier said than done. While laundromats exist in Moscow, they don't have wash, dry and fold service (I did find online a place that offers such a service, but it wasn't anywhere near where we were). Many don't even have detergent available.

All my Kasa smart switches lost connectivity in my absence. I tried restarting my router but no luck. I really don't look forward to having to reset all of them.

After resetting 2 of them the rest came online too.

How does it feel to be back in the free USA?

How does it feel to be back in the free USA?

3 differences:

1. No need to juggle VPN/no-VPN to access various sites/services.
2. First time driving since early April.
3. No need to ask others for help whenever I need to pay, either converting currency, using their credit or debit card, or a combination of the two.

Uh. He's in NY, not FL or OH.

Just don't drive over 25 or forget to move your car every other day.

Now they say they want to bring it down to 20. Crazy.

I didn't see that, but it's a way to raise revenues without raising taxes (and pad the pockets of the company that operates the cameras).

And fund the millions of illegals we have here.

Like getting a speed light ticket from a camera by a cemetery and the notice saying it's from the law that allowed it by school zones...
