We received our itinerary to Kyiv today.  We will be leaving at 1:30 PM on April 2nd from the Pocatello Airport.  We will fly to Salt Lake, then to Paris, France and will arrive in Kyiv Ukraine at 5:40 PM on April 3rd.  And then the adventure begins.

We went to Salt Lake for another three day orientation. We learned so many things about what we would be doing in Ukraine and it is really exciting. We also met the other five couples that are leaving about the same time we are (one to Sydney Australia, one to Manila, one to Hong Kong, one to Accra and one to Johannesburg) and we all had a great time together.
