Any paperwork required for Ukraine?

Dnepropetrovsk (DNK) is a wonderful city with the Dniper river bisecting it. There are many lovely restaurants along the riverbank and you can travel easily by bus, train or taxi about the city. There is a long park down the middle of Karl Marx Boulevard that has artisans selling their wares. I enjoyed being there at the end of May when school lets out. All the children are dressed up, there is music everywhere and fireworks at night.

A walk along the embankment (Dniper River) is very romantic.

Have a great trip! What made you choose SP?

She lives in St. Petersburg. That's where I visited her for the first time in February. Her hometown, though, is Krivoy Rog in Ukraine, and that's where her family lives and where she usually spends the summer.

But there are a lot of things we need to do in SP in preparation for her interview. Thus, the itinerary for this trip is a little complicated and exhausting:

Fly from Fort Lauderdale to St. Petersburg.

Take train from SP to Moscow (never been to Moscow).

Fly from Moscow to Dnepropetrovsk.

Drive from Dnepropetrovsk to Krivoy Rog.

Drive from Krivoy Rog to Kiev.

Fly from Kiev to Fort Lauderdale.

Yikes! I hope you have a long time to recover. I am not a big fan of trains over there, and I don't like it when Vika insists that we move every thre or four days to a city just a few hours away. But the upside is that you should be all squared away after this and can make your own itineraries from now on.

Oh come on, the trains there are an experience! Like the man at the suitcase store in "Joe vs the Volcano" says: "Oh, so it's a real journey then." Of course, having your leg broken in 3 places is also 'an experience', so there you go.

Been there, done that..... still waiting on the train ride though. Hopefully it'll be a better experience than breaking a leg in 3 places.

No it isn't. Imagine a long, boring, noisy lecture in school - but you are in a closet that moves. The closet is dusty and very hot - and there is a window that is screwed shut. That window part kills the analogy, but you get the jist.

I get it. I had hoped to be cooped up in a train car with my fiancee a long time ago.

Not anymore!

There is an upside. The conductors earn extra money by selling cold beer and hot tea and coffee. For a mere 7 HRVNA per bottle ($1.40), I can make myself stop caring about how miserable I am.

After 7 bottles, my wife's usually drunk enough to help me forget about my misery.

Thats all good, if the lock on the cabin door works.
