TRIP TO UKRAINE
September 19 - October 2, 1999

I was already exhausted by the time I finally began my journey. I had spent a day and a half in the San Francisco airport, desperately trying to get any flight, then a day and a half at home, waiting for the news that I could leave at last. I was apprehensive about such a long journey alone, into a totally foreign land. But I was expecting Dad to meet me in Kyiv, so all I had to do was endure three flights (San Francisco to Newark, then Newark to Prague, then Prague to Kyiv), and 24 hours cramped into an airplane seat. Piece of cake.
