We have our plane Tickets

It was much more frustrating than I had planned on but we are ticketed. We checked online web sites a couple of brick and mortar travel agencies and airline web sites. No one wanted to give us in writing what the actual change fees on an international flight would be. We looked at more flexible tickets and their costs. In the end we found a flight that was shorter more direct (only one stop) less expensive and who would give us the actual change fee in writing.

Kudos to Kayak.com for doing the best job in showing comparisons. I do like the fact that we fly non-stop from JFK in NY to Kyiv.

The flight will still be shorter than the LAX to Auckland, New Zealand, flight I took a few years ago.

Happy, Happy, Happy Dance...

We are going to get our kids.

Just picked up on your blog. I noticed the cyrillic more than anything. If you are taking the time to learn the alphabet and as many useful phrases as possible, you will be pleasanly surprised at how incredibley useful it is to know how to say some things. Even being able to sound out the letters will surprise. It's all based on some form of Latin and there are a lot of similar words. The kids will love and appreiciate that you took the time and put forth the effort, also. We are nearin the end of our time in Ukraine, about 13 more days. Buy the insurance that allows you to change your flight dates, it's worth it. I'll keep following.
