    HEY everyone--near and far!! Has anyone been to Tallinn, Estonia??
    I found this little gem and I really want to go (is that whining??)

    http://www.luxurylink.com/luxury-hotels/th...amp;pkid=253591

    Best idea to get there? We fly Helsinki via AMS which then means ferry 50 miles, so I was thinking AMS then zed to Tallinn? alternate ideas?

    I loved TLL, and I went in the dead of winter when there was very little sunlight. Great place, great people and cheap (at least at the time). If you can, make sure to hit the garlic restaurant in the old town. I can't remember the name right now, but I'm sure anyone there can tel you. Pretty much everything on the menu has garlic (from the pre-dinner vodka to the after dinner coffee).

    I flew to HEL then took a FinnComm flight to/from TLL.

    Garlic vodka - OK, but I draw the line at garlic coffee.

    c'mon mig--howzabout chocolate dipped garlic candies?
    if you didn't know, you wouldn't know...
    cook garlic cloves in red wine/sugar/honey--allow to dry and dip in chocolate

    I was told that bear was pretty popular with tourists!

    I did a whole lot of snooping around and Baltic Air just does not thrill me. No option to fly Aeroflot from SVO--nuhuh, no how...
    I think the best option is DL to PRG then Czech Air to TLL, due to the timing of flights. I don't want to arrive late in the day--and FRA cnx LH wasn't bad but arrived late on some days. At least I could do CVG/FRA for now--afetr August it will be, as they say, kaput!

    There&#39;s a school of thought that says, there is nothing that doesn&#39;t go with chocolate. Well, M767 you have found the limit.
    No, I absolutely, unequivocally draw the line at garlic coffee and garlic cloves dipped in chocolate. And now that I think about it, you can forget garlic vodka too. off to get my morning bloody mary.

    maybe garlic and chocolate aren&#39;t your cup-o-tea, but I found some great bargain fares on Air Baltic:
    From Copenhagen to Tallinn $7E each way
    HOWEVVVVAH---add $160 taxes/fees + $20 for ticketing charge--poof--RT was $200 euros per person...
    Think I&#39;ll go back to the idea of CSA zed via Prague
    ARGHHHHH the frustrations of trying a cheap nonrev quickie!!!

    Odd you should say that. I did try a bear stew. Not a favorite, but I tried.

    Believe it or not, the garlic restaurant also served a garlic ice cream!

    Though I may have been surrounded by gory looking foreign foods, I&#39;m basically chickenshite to try them. No dog, no monkey meet, no cat, no snails, no balut in Philippines, no kangaroo meat, no fruit bat. I stick with the basic foods, and even the fast foods abroad. Beers are another story.
