For our trip to Russia (Moscow and Saint Petersburg), my husband promised me a "fantasy day" (and no, not in return for any of his carnal fantasies being satisfied!), and I can't think of what it should be. The budget is (basically) unlimited, so I want to do something that we wouldn't do in Chicago. I was thinking of taking a helicopter for a day, or having a romantic dinner in a palace for just the two of us. Any Russian travelers (or even dreamers) have suggestions?<BR><BR>Thanks to all in advance!

I understand somewhere in Moscow is an exorbitantly expensive restaurant that assumes you are royalty, and treats you accordingly.

The Bolshoi!!!!

A helicopter to Kizhi from St Petersburg would be a spectacular trip, as most would not take the two overnight trains required. Also, you could see about renting Yussopov or Gatchina Palace for the night along with a small chamber orchestra, or even a fireworks display. If you are seriously interested I would be happy to forward your request to some people in Russia who could arrange this.
