Hi Jonah. I will be going on the same trip to Russia, and I'm really looking forward to it. I have my visa, I live in Nothumberland and went up to Edinburgh for it.. Allowed a full day as recommended but was there was no one else there, so was in and out in less that half an hour!! Recieved my passport in about a week so I'm sure you will get yours soon. Im flying from Newcastle and also have to travel the day before but am staying in a Thistle hotel the night before. so all set to go, except for travel money. I was going to get some rubles but have been told just to take stering, as it is easy to exchange once there.
