10 days and counting

Our departure date is almost here and of course the "to do" list and the "to buy" list are still growing. After months of research and endless visits to online translation services, we have everything booked, or as much as we can do from here, and we are getting ready to go.

The trip will be a whirlwind adventure taking in 5 countries in 3.5 weeks! We will experience the land of the midnight sun, cycle through fjords 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, tour a medieval city, experience efficient scandinavian design (aka very small hotel rooms), and explore Russian culture including the ballet,the Hermitage and visits to several palaces that were once home to Peter, and Catherine, the Great.

Now we just have to figure out how to pack rain and biking gear, cold weather, summer and dress clothes, and multiple types of footwear, etc. into 55 litre packs!
