I am on my final week countdown and I am ready to go. This will be my second trip over as I did this many years ago. But this time it has been much more fun having these groups to read. Thanks to all of you for everything that was posted. Thanks to Jack for much assistance and the few others on here that we have exchanged email. All of you helped and it is much appreciated.
I leave on May 22 and won't return till June 17. After I get settled in with my thoughts I will post a complete trip report. I am bringing a journal just so I can put my thoughts down. So far things are going very well as I am visiting one woman. I will have Jack's # with me incase things do not work out. Our plan is to stay in Dnepro for a day or two just so I can rest after the flight and we can get comfortable with each other. We will head to the small town of Simeiz near Yalta. We have plans for 5 nights there and maybe more. We wanted to get away from her family and friends and just spend all that time together. We will not do much site seeing at all and this is just for us to spend quiet time together and get to know each other. After we go back to Dnepro we will know if we want to continue or not then we can have all the friends and family distractions. We felt we wanted time alone with no distractions. If we stayed in her city we would have to see everyone.
I hope I can share a good story when I get back but if it is not I will post my experience to help others here. I know if this trip goes well it is only the start of a long and exciting adventure which started 8 months ago. 6 days and counting...
