Dear egeans,
As we promised to you last year, we are organizing an amazing trip to 10 000 km far from Moscow 
We calculated the budget several times and anyway it is going to be a very expensive tour! And only 15 egeans can take part in total, including
organizers. That's why we need your opinion! In the next topics you will find a draft program and budget. Those, who is interested in participating,
please let us know in advance. To buy more or less cheap tickets we need to know the list of participants till February
2012.
To make a web-site and detailed program, we would like to know your opinion on which program you would like - more extended and more expensive or more
simple and cheap. We plan to spend in Kamchatka 2 weeks, 14 days. The only possible way to get to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is by plane (9
hours flight).
So, this forum is for your comments!

mmmm.... same as Camille I was pretty impatient to see that
Well my plans for the next are to be an Olympic volunteer which lasts till 12 August. Afterwards, I can make it of course. Anyway, I will probably not
have enough money, but of course I am waiting for the budget details.
Good luck Moscow!

that sounds AWESOME! - I don't really know what you mean with expensive...
expensive like between 150 and 250 euro? or more?
Anyway... I'd love to hear more about it.
As for my opinion whether it should be simple or extended: Extended always sounds nice!  - but maybe there is a middle way? But my opinion depends on how much "expensive" is... (right now I'd say I go for extended!  )

Yes, Lake Baikal....was my first trip to Russia! And see, where do I live now? Definitely had an impact on me ;-) To round up my two years here in
Russia, I would love to join you on the tour to Kamschatka - and visa should not be a problem ;-)
