The woman who cleans my teeth is from the Kiev area. I've almost been there twice in the last 2 years, but other trips have ended up winning out. We've talked about it at length, and she still has most of her family there. Right after the last ice storm hit she was joking that our grocery stores reminded her of the 80's.

We have plans to visit her parents and brother's family next summer, tour Kiev, and then head over to St. Petersburg. This is now assuming that the political climate allows it. My mind still cannot fathom that this is happening in 2014.
