Thanks for your interest in my upcoming trip to Russia this summer. My itinerary is still under construction, however I have some ideas on what I will be seeing. This trip will not be your typical tourist trip. There will be several emotions involved; not only from my point of view, but my adoptive parents and birth parents perspective. It is one of those trips you aren't really certain what will happen, but you need to "go with the flow" and just get through it.
Our plans begin by flying out of Boston Logan International Airport and arriving in Moscow Vnukovo International Airport. Of course we have a stop in Frankfort Germany, but that doesn't really count :)
Moscow:
- Red Square
- Kremlin
- Museums
- Restaurants
- Night clubs? - don't judge me
Smolensk:
- Visit baby home (Krasny Bor)
- Visit with Tony Carrthers
- Spending time with birth family
- See major attractions in my hometown
The distance between Moscow and Smolensk isn't that bad. Train is around 5hr and 30min or so.
Thanks for reading and take care.

Of course you have to go to the Circus in Moscow! We went to both the "new" and the "old" circus. I loved the atmosphere of the Old Circus the best, but the New Circus had CATS! Loved the cats, and also the gymnasts!
