For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to see St. Petersburg, Russia. Getting a visa to visit can be tricky. After much searching and finding other fun things to see I decided to book this cruise, add a land excursion and make the most of time in Europe.
Let’s start the fun.

| 5:30am, so tired, looked at the seatbelt and thought I was given two male ends |
 |
| A bit of a drerry day in San Diego |
Welcome to LAX, one of the few airports you have to walk to the tarmak to catch a bus to go to a different terminal. I’m not complaining, I get to see all the pretty planes hard at work.
 |
| How the masses travel between terminals |
 |
| It’s almost as if you can reach out and touch these beauties |
 |
| If you’re a VIP passenger you get to travel between terminals in your own Porche |
People give me a hard time for always flying with Delta. Since I’m a frequent flier with them, on international flights, I get free club access. That makes the 4-hour layover very comfortable.

| Club house views |
 |
| Inside the club |
 |
| Free breakfast. Egg, hash browns, fruit, soda and if you want coffee and/or beer. All unlimited free. |
 |
| View from my seat |
 |
| The real reason I choose this spot. This view is amazing |
11am – time to get ready to fly. Next stop – Paris
 |
| My gate is calling |
 |
| Poor dog is going to be on the plane for 10 hours |
 |
| This is why I always book early. I don’t need first class when I have the bulkhead seat |
 |
| Decent dinner. Rosemary chicken, salad, roll, cheese |
 |
| Full red moon on the horizon |
Time to try to get some sleep. The guy next to me is DRUNK! Let’s see if he’s a sleepy drunk or mean drunk.
