High on our bucket list was visiting St. Petersburg Russia.  Well this summer we finally made it with a Regent Seven Seas cruise of the Baltics.  While we had been to Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Stockholm before, this trip afforded us a glimpse into the Baltic states of Latvia and Estonia and culminated in three full days in St. Petersburg.  In three days we hardly scratched the surface.  We'll just have to return!

We also took the opportunity to visit my niece, Mickey, on the Isle of Wight.
