Im two weeks out from flying to DME to stay one night and then connect on the return and I just booked it.

We're staying one night at the start of our trip in Moscow and then connecting for 8 hours on the return two weeks later. So a total of two entries that, typically, a tourist visa could cover.

But our hotel (the Ritz Carlton Moscow) says they can only sponsor us for the night we stay there, but not the connection on the way home?

So now what the heck do we do? Please help! Appointment with Russian embassy's service is tomorrow!
