Final Itinerary (revised due to G8 Summit Conference)
June 12, 2006
St. Petersburg Hotel Finally Found!

2006 Baltic Captials Cruise Threatened by G8 Summit
Strange things tend to happen to us when we travel. Sometimes, they start to happen before the trip has even started.
This July, we are planning to spend some time in London & then take a cruise through the various Baltic Captials. It's our big 40th birthday celebration and we are extremely fortunate to have this travel opportunity.

- Get off of the ship in St. Petersburg & stay there a few extra days.
- Fly off to either London or Paris for an extra day or so.
- Fly home.
