Well, according to St. Augustine the world is a metaphor to a book and from this page forward I warmly welcome only true explorers to join me on this remarkable journey of Russia. The 1st day of this vacation will be lost to travelling, but the excitement and enthusiasm that we'll build up will be tremendous. My father and I will be travelling via airplane on a direct flight from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to the Moscow Domodedovo Airport (DME). I made sure to fly Air Canada as it's a reputable airline, but most importantly because they offer complimentary movies to passengers which will be very useful on a 10 hour flight! Speaking of a 10 hour flight, we'll be touching Russian soil at 9:00 AM, but wait, we forgot to take into account the time difference (UH-oh Jet Lag!). Our watches need to be set forward 8 hours as the local time is 5:00 PM. Nevertheless, we've officially landed in Russia and it's time to celebrate as we take our first alcoholic shot at the airport bar. This experience will signify our SATISFACTION as we've finally arrived. This shot will also be accompanied by the backdrop of the Russian national anthem...
We'll then collect our baggage and take a private, pre-arranged limousine to the Kempinski Hotel Baltschung Moscow Luxury Hotel. This lavishing hotel is in close proximity to several popular tourist attractions and is frequently of host to numerous celebrities. As this is my dream vacation I only want the best and remember I embrace the motto YOLO (You Only Live Once). After hotel check-in, we'll eventually crash due to the jet lag as we want to be fully rested for our first big day ahead of us!
