Day 1

Well I finally got to KBP airport and waited through a long line at customs just to find out that the form I filled out didn't need to be filled out.  (This trip has made me very grateful for the airport personnel in the States...a world of difference).  X-Ray my bags one last time and I see a Scandinavian waving at me through the sliding doors!  Here at last!  Trude picked me up with the trusty driver and now we're in Kyiv for the night staying with some friends :)  30 days and counting....but then again, who's counting?  Bring on the adventure!
