I end up getting the India visa the same day! Golden Gate Bridge While I'm in San Francisco, I dash over to the Golden Gate bridge, a Modern Wonder of the World. The bridge is enveloped in a soothing fog.	In San Francisco, I get a same-day $60 India visa and the Egypt consulate tells me I can get a visa at the airport. The tough one is Russia: you need a letter from a travel agency, tourist agency and fax from a sponsoring hotel giving the dates/reasons of your stay. Too much trouble; too bad; I nix Moscow off the itinerary.
