Yeah, basically, I am volunteering in Vladivostok for like three weeks and then I am heading west to go to World Youth Day in Cologne, with a number of stops on the way. I did want to go to Petersburg tho, after Moscow so I might train it from Moscow to Petersburg. Seat61.com is a great website (maybe you've been there). There is a direct sleeper from Peterburg to Brussels that I might use. THanks for your help. THere was availability to VVO and then my phone cut off while she was searching for availability from Germany back. I shouldn't have to worry about that because i can fly out of almost any city in Germany or France across any number of days.
