"The future belongs to whose who believe in the beauty of their dreams"
~Eleanor Roosevelt~
Eleanor Roosevelt took the words right out of my mouth. The future is within yourself and imagination, you just need to act on it. Dreams are fantasy until you turn them into reality. At the beginning of this book I woke up in a deep sweat understanding what my ultimate dream vacation was. Now it's up to yourself to figure out what your dreams are and act accordingly. I can ensure you though that the future is promising if you chase your dreams.
On a different note, this is our last day of travelling. I've booked the morning direct flight back home from DME to YYZ. Due to a very limited number of airplanes travelling from Moscow to Toronto, I couldn't be as selective with which airline I opted for this time around. I'll be taking the Russian airline, Transaero, back home with my father.
On the airplane home, I'll tabulate my total expenses so I know how much to declare at customs roughly. Don't get scared I know it's a lot (~$3875 and if we included airfare it would be ~$6475), but remember that I can potentially convince my dad that this is a graduation present, but if not, I might as well add it to my existing student debt. Regardless, I received a huge bargain as this 10 day trip was worth way more to me than any monetary value. The breakdown of the costs are as follows...

Don't get scared I know it's a lot (~$3875 and if we included airfare it would be ~$6475), but remember that I can potentially convince my dad that this is a graduation present, but if not, I might as well add it to my existing student debt. Regardless, I received a huge bargain as this 10 day trip was worth way more to me than any monetary value. The breakdown of the costs are as follows...
- Hotel and Accommodations (only the best!) = ~$2500
- Travel (not including airfare) = ~$400
- Drinks and Food = ~$500
- Souvenirs = ~$75
- Private Tours, Admission Fees, Excursions = ~$400
- Memories = Priceless
Speaking of expense #6, although it was priceless it was the best investment made. Memories are something I definitely received throughout this vacation and I'll remember for the remainder of my life. As I'm getting a little bit emotional here, I'm going to call the stewardess over to bring 2 shots of vodka for my father and I. We'll drink and reminisce about our unforgettable MEMORIES. The 10 keywords of my trip are illustrated below...
Cheers from the Sky!
