I have posted a report on the two days that our family spent in St. Petersburg, Russia while on a Baltic cruise in the summer of 2009. Over the course of two days spent with a private guide and driver, we were able to see Catherine's Palace, the Peterhof gardens, The Hermitage museum, The Winter Palace, St. Nicholas' Cathedral, St. Isaac's Cathedral, Our Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood and the statue of The Bronze Horseman.
Helsinki, Finland
I have just posted a trip report for Helsinki, Finland which was one of the ports of call on the Baltic cruise that our family took during summer vacation in 2009. Knowing that we had limited time in Helsinki, we decided that our goal was to see some of the best known attractions, have fun and try to form an impression of the city.

Stockholm, Sweden
I have just posted a trip report on the day that we spent in Stockholm, Sweden while on a Baltic cruise in the summer of 2009. We had only one day to explore the city so we had to make some hard decisions about what we could see in such a short period of time. What we discovered is that Stockholm is a strikingly beautiful capital city that warrants a much longer visit to fully appreciate everything that it has to offer.
