Actually, I will leave Friday and return the day before Thanksgiving! My lovely wife will care for the IFT's while I am out of pocket. Though in many ways Ukraine has leapfrogged technology, the remote areas are much like rural USA 50-60 years ago. And for the most part, we will not have any internet access and I would not want to try to use their internet cafes as someone in Lviv could end up enjoying my hard earned retirement
.
Some villages are just now getting natural gas, as if the rural folk could afford to use it. So, no trying to keep up with things here technology wise, just the occassional international phone card call home.
Thanks for your interest, and welcome back!
