Day 1 - 09/20/2008

Well, we made it to Ukraine. We're very tired but happy to be here finally. The flights were uneventful and on time. We had no problems with immigration or customs. The passport control person even smiled a little, which I guess rarely happens, when I lifted Ryan up so she could see him. We walked through customs with nobody saying a word to us. Our apartment is nice - 2 bedrooms, hardwood floors. It's about 2 blocks to the US embassy and a 20 minute walk to Independence Square. This afternoon the plan is to walk to Independence Square.
