Weco,

When you're in Moscow make sure you visit the Kremlin Museum and look at the big canon and the broken bell in the courtyard. Also try and visit the Lenin Hills as you get the best overall view of the city from there. And if you get a chance, take a ride on the metro (subway). Unless you've been down a mine shaft before that will probably be the deepest underground that you'll ever be. Be sure to take lots of pictures.

I've never been to St. Petersburg but it's on my bucket list. I work with a guy who lived there until he was 17 when he and his parents immigrated to the States.

Local Chevron jumped to $3.73 today, but Costco is still in the $3.50s... I may need to top off tomorrow, but no real need.. We leave for St Petersburg Monday, be gone the rest of the month...

St Pete to Moscow, the Viking line you see on PBS... Should be a kick...

Problem sorting the baggage limits, 18 lbs for carry on, 50 lbs for the checked bag, Economy class, no way we're payin' for business or first... Anyway, it turns out I can carry the laptop separate, so it doesn't count, else it was going to be tough to stay in the limits... Camera, cords, charger add a lot... Lots of stuff to gather this time, seems more than the last run...

Now it's looking like we'll hit a lot of rain, at least in St Pete, so more to consider...

Had my lighter 24-120mm lens in for repair, but sadly, it's not worth the $150 to fix, so I picked up a 55-200mm VR lens to use as a backup to the 18-270 I normally use..

Hectic week or two here, trip stuff, family stuff, all pushed into this week it seems.. And tons of costs to go with...

So in any case, we have wifi aboard the boat, maybe no time, but will be checking emails...

Onward... Prepack tomorrow!
