The Basics
Country:  Uzbekistan
 
Where is it?:  Uzbekistan is central Asia, north of Afghanistan.
 
Why do people go here?:  Although it offers the famous silk road and could be a huge tourist draw, Uzbekistan is a nightmare for independent travelers, as the state run tourism agencies controls your entire experience. If you can [...]]]></description>

Visas
I applied for the visas myself which turned out, in the case of the Russian visa, to be a mistake.
The Uzbekistan Embassy in Washington is now offering a multi-entry visa to US citizens without a letter of support.  Mine cost $45 and took a little better than one week to process.
For the Russia [...]]]></description>

Travel Agents
I used a number of travel agents and can recommend them all. 
I used Academservice of Moscow (E-mail: acs@acase.ru) for my Moscow hotels &#8211; the Moskva and Novotel.  They supplied the support letter for the Russian visa application after I faxed them my credit card number.  I also asked them to [...]]]></description>

Hotels
The Moskva ($48 per night) in Moscow was an aging soviet giant, slightly run down, but very well located.  It was just off Red Square and near the metro and shopping.  It&#8217;s easy to get lost in it &#8211; it was a long walk from the entrance to the elevators.  I [...]]]></description>

A Small Visa Problem &#8211; Wednesday, September 13

I was on my way home from Uzbekistan via Moscow. At the airport the immigration official asked to see my Russian visa. When I showed it to him he frowned. &#8220;I think,&#8221; he said slowly, &#8220;your Russian visa has expired.&#8221; I wasn&#8217;t exactly sure how that could [...]]]></description>

The road to Tim and Samarkand &#8211; Thursday, September 7

Laura wanted to stop in Tim on the way to Samarkand and that created a couple of problems. First, Tim wasn&#8217;t exactly on the way to Samarkand and the side trip would add hours to our journey. More importantly, none of us were sure exactly [...]]]></description>

Samarkand &#8211; Friday, September 8

I started my sightseeing early the next morning: first I stopped at the bazaar to take some more pictures.  The best one was of a line of women selling handmade brooms.  In the background loomed the huge blue-domes of the Bibi-Khanym mosque which sits on the south edge [...]]]></description>

Bukhara &#8211; Monday, September 4

Shortly after arriving in Bukhara I went looking for the Char Minar. I had seen pictures of this building in my travel guide and it seemed like a good place to start my sightseeing. It was only about a 10-minute walk from my hotel. 
The day was hot &#8211; the [...]]]></description>

Tashkent &#8211; Sunday, September 3

The overnight flight from Moscow left me feeling dopey.  At the Tashkent airport I saw people filling out a form, but I was in a hurry and got in the customs line without one.  When I got to the front the agent looked at me and asked, &#8220;Declaration? [...]]]></description>
