Beth > Ukraine-Bound! My classmate Rachel and her then-boyfriend now-fiance Dan toast to our upcoming adventure and to the soothing power of caffeine at 4 AM in an airport waiting room.

Beth > Our travel group for the Crimea: My classmates Rebecca and Lisa; Leonid, a rabbinical student in London who's originally from Russia; Rachel; Dan and me in the front.

Beth > The first photo in the Ukraine: While we wait at the Baggage Claim, Leonid and Lisa ponder the joys of vending machine coffee.

Beth > Waiting in the airport in Kiev before our flight to Simferopol (the regional capital of the Crimea), we bought our first bottle of Ukrainian champagne.

Beth > Old Soviet plane, with a dolpin theme.

Beth > The curtain to the pilot's area. Purchased at the Russian version of Bed, Beth and Beyond?

Beth > When they told me that my seat was 16 "G", I was surprised that the plane was so wide . . . little did I know that the seat assignments were in Russian letters, where G is the fourth letter of the alphabet.

Beth > Rachel and Dan aboard - notice how the even the round windows seem to coordinate with the maritime theme.

Beth > We arrived in Simferopol! This building is a "Pochta," which is a post office.
