The Itinerary

JFK -> KBP -> KRK -> JFK

After my whirlwind visit to Russia last year, I figured I'd top myself with a trip to the Ukraine next month. It's the annual November trip, which seems to build as the years go on, and this will be no different.

I'm staying primarily in Kiev with a day trip to Chernobyl. Yes, THAT Chernobyl. I will then move onto Lvov for a day before heading to Krakow, Poland - my final stop.

Needing an additional country to spend a few days in, it was a toss up between Hungary and Poland. I figure I'd do Budapest another time as part of a different trip. So, a few days in Krakow won out. I'm spending one of the days visiting Auschwitz concentration camp. My duty to humanity. I'm quite blase about it now because I honestly don't know how I'll react once I'm behind the barb wire.

I know I'll just be skimming the surface given the short time in Krakow, but it's the best I can do.
