The air bed on the beach is a nice upscale touch. IME Russians love to vacation in Spain, Turkey and Egypt.

I went to Sochi in May 1979, there were no hotties on either side of the ledger other than the "amateur" track and field athletes working out on a regular 9-5 schedule. They didn't even take us on a tour of Stalin's dacha there. He was sort of out of favor then. Talk about the international comeback player of the year now!

A HolidayInn-esque, tiny, empty pool, no people ... and you call THAT a beach ?????

Well I was being sarcastic about the beach...unless you love pebble beaches with ugly people.
