Tonight as I sit in my friend's apartment in Kyiv I have the wonderful feeling of being home, even though I am several thousand miles away from so many. Thank you to all who played a part in letting me be here today.

There is no snow on the ground! And 32ish weather seems balmy compared to Grand Rapids.

Even with the flight delays due to snow in Grand Rapids and Detroit, I (and my luggage!) safely arrived earlier today. Now I am anxious to relax, get a good nights sleep and start meeting up with everyone on Saturday!
