Day 1 - Begin the trip

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.
