The trip is delayed

One week before the departure the travel agent said that she can't obtain for me an electronical transit Australian visa, and suggested me to apply for this visa to the nearest Australian embassy.

That was a catastrophe, because I had no time for that before the departure. Only sending the documents to Moscow and back again would take ~ a week. I've checked everything once more. Australian imigration rules clearly state that:
I require the transit Australian visa even if I won't leave the airplane that have a stop in Australia.
So, I'm going to sepnd in Australia only 1 hour and a half, and I won't change the aircraft, but still I have to have the Australian transit visa. And that visa can not be obtained electronically for a number of countries (including Kyrgyzstan and Russia).

I was upset, and gave up updating this blog. But it was decided just to postpone the flight till January 2008. Now I'm back, and I hope this time everything will be ok, and nothing more would stop me. I've already obtained the Australian transit visa (had to send my passport to Moscow once again). So, let's wait until January.. :)
