Toiletries and Medical Supplies: BRING PLENTY OF ASPIRIN! Despite nameless hotels, streets and wedding towns, Lutsk was a memorable experience. It was a comedy of errors capped off by me getting a case of bronchial pneumonia that lingered for four months after I returned to Florida.
The downside is Peter obviously read this and hasnt emailed me in months. hahahahahaha...Oh well. I guess life is good in Massachusetts.
Like I said..Ukraine and Russia was heaven and hell almost daily..despite it all....It was an experience of a lifetime!...
