Join Greg and me as we talk about Russia. Many people are fascinated with Russia (me included). It's the land where "everything is difficult, but nothing is impossible." As we recorded this show, we acknowledge now is not the time to visit. We share information for when it is the time. St. Petersburg and Moscow are full of UNESCO sites, Michelin star restaurants, and cultural experiences like the Bolshoi Theater. There are also opportunities to enjoy the outdoors in Gorky Park, biking through St Petersburg, dining on a terrace or strolling the streets lined with fashionable boutiques. Russia is a place where exclusive experiences are quite unique – whether talking with Gorbachev's former interpreter, seeing behind the scenes of the Russian ballet, or having your child enjoy a ballet lesson with a professional dancer. And of course, we talk about favorite luxury hotels like the Four Seasons and Ararat Park Hyatt.
