Day 1 Pics

Well, it's just past 4:30am here (7:30pm at home), and I'm awake.  I got a good 5-hrs of sleep last night, but didn't think it was worth just lying in bed to see if I could catch just a few more winks.  Thought I would get on here and post some pics from yesterday! ...

Rural IL as we "jump" to Chicago/ORD

On our jet to ORD

Waiting at ORD and sending the last few texts before boarding... 

Our pond-hopper plane ... it was very nice!

Inside the Airbus A340-300 we rode to Dusseldorf, Germnay

Waiting to leave ORD ... we aren't tired yet!  :-)

Dinner in flight ... tomato-chicken-veggie-potato dish, salad,
lime/meringue whip ... was very good!

Sunset somewhere over Maine/NE Canada

Lunch on our Boeing 737 flight to St. Petersburg

Leslie relaxin' on the flight to St. Pete

Almost there .. don't know what the building is at center (yet)
but it looked really neat
 

WE'RE HERE!  We made it!

Taxi-ing in to St. Pete

Our first exposure to the Russian souvenir shop (at airport)
The view from our hotel room

Dinner/snacks last night

Connie ... yes, we can take pictures but can not post them for now. He does not speak English, but we will have a translator the whole time.
