Because it's there?

This morning Ann and I flying to Ukraine. Why? Well, that's a question I've been asking myself for the past week. Here's the answer: We wanted to go to...

...Moscow but didn't have time to get the permits.

...somewhere cheap.

...somewhere non-muslim because the country would be on holiday.

Ukraine pretty much won by default. The monsoons haven't left Nepal so that was ruled out.

Hence we are heading to Kiev. I'm trying to remember a time when I was less excited about taking a trip. Then again, I felt the same before heading to Nepal last year.
