My trip to Russia in August 0f 2016 was, in some ways, a way to connect back to my grandparents’ homeland. Accept that – while they were from the “Kingdom of Russia,” three of the four of them were from Ukraine – in-and-around Kyiv (the fourth was from Poland). So, while Russia was still exciting and interesting it wasn’t quite what the familial trip I had wanted it to be. Who cares? I still got to see Moscow and St. Petersburg, including visiting some of my wife’s cousins who were ex-pats living in St. Petersburg.
This was another Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) trip, well worth the investment for the quality of accommodations, the tour guides, and the access we got.
More to come . . .
