I got home safely this evening (arround midnight local time) after roughly 24 hours in transit. I spent two weeks in Ukraine, including a week in Crimea. (I would have to agree with Dan's comment about wanting to talk about Crimea instead of Chernobyl.) I can recommend an excellent guide if anyone is interested.
For those who saw my questions about the K-1 visa from Kiev, it is now official: I now have Natasha's family's approval to marry her. They sure know how to give a the third degree, which is nice because they are a very close family.
Good night all!
