Hi AliBali,

I too am escaping to the reported delights of vodka, sleighs and extreme cold! This will be my 5th Just You experience and if this is anything like the last 4 we shouldn't be disappointed. I've just got the Russian Visa experience to complete next Wednesday in London. Not a problem in itself unless you happen to live in Plymouth like me!!

I have upgraded my flight so will be having breakfast in the Lounge at T5 before coming to the gate having driven up the day before and stayed at the Sofitel at T5.

If I can help with any concerns you may have, just ask. Otherwise I look forward to meeting you and our fellow travelling companions.

Hi  to both of you. I too am a newbie travelling to St Petersburg on 23rd December. Looking forward to meeting everybody. I am travelling over from N Ireland on Friday 22nd to ensure I am at the airport on time. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone. Does anyone have advice on currency? I have heard that it is best to bring euros or dollars.

Hi Ruth. I have got roubles - 18000 - £250. We’re half board so just drinks money & looking to use cards for the rest! I am staying at the Sofitel on Friday night so will be on site. I am travelling Business so may not see you until the other side. Looking forward to meeting you. Safe journey. Pete
