Jan 19th for sure (Tickets in hand).  Maybe in early December on the way home from a business trip.  
December would be Kiev, Jan is Simferopol.

It will be my first trip over there.I'll be in Kiev then go to Luhansk. Kiev will be in passing but we are supposed to go there for a weekend.

You should try and spend a little more time in Kiev and enjoy the city as just going to Lugansk might put a sour taste in your mouth about the whole country.  I'm telling you Lugansk is no place for the weak of heart especially at this time of year.  You better be wise...

I don't know where you live at, but the last time I looked the weather in Ukraine is like cold...in the 30's.

Ukraine to me sometimes has that look and feel of a Mexican border town.  Everybody speaking a funny language and the general kaos assocated with it.

I've never been to anywhere else besides Kiev in the summer time, I'd like to visit the place in the dead of winter...But, I think I will give that venture another few years before it materializes in my brain.

The weather in Memphis, where I'm at is still relatively mild and they're just now picking the cotton off the plants.

Brrr.  Kiev

Hey Bill
A 'bum steer' ? ..... you said ...
"Don't get to pack your long underwar" !!!

Didnt you mean to say, "Don't FORGET (emphasis on; don't get) to pack your long underwear"? PLEASE clarify Mate.  Just what a whimp like me needs right now; it looks like another commissioning job in northern China for me in three weeks. Why me, it could have been two months ago.
Ah well, might give me some practice for St P. Hope not!
And Bill, Txs for the URL, much appreciated.
73's Bill.
