Thanks, Wayne. What happened to Auburn?

Pictures of Armenia
When I get home, I will send you all of my photos of Armenia. I will put them in a Kodak Gallery and you can share them with your daughter-in-law. Armenia is the only country where we didn't see beggars. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Jeff, I would not bring any traveler's checks to Ukraine. We have encountered places that would not take Visa cards. I have not seen any signs for American Express cards. We try to just use cash. If you don't have a money belt or money wallet, buy one. I personally would not rent a car. You can travel between cities by marshrutka (minivans.) In Odessa, the bus and train stations are within one block of each other. We have ridden marshrutkas, buses, trains, and airplanes since getting to Eastern Europe. Don't worry about exchanging money. The rates are posted on signs by the exchange shops. We have not been cheated at any of them. I would suggest that you go on-line to a currency website. Write down the rate for the Ukraine Hryvnia. It has dropped since we have been here. Currently it is $1 US is equal to 8.4 UK hryvnia. Do you need a place to stay the night that you arrive in Odessa? Be careful! I met a young American male today who has arrive in Kiev to attend medical school. Two girls slipped a drug in his drink last night. He passed out and woke up in the hospital. All of his money and credit cards were missing. Good luck! Everette

I see the photos as tiny little squares. This photo was the airport in Tibilisi. I am sorry for the mistake.

E. Europe
I have blogs on Kosovo, Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia, etc. Look back at my earlier entries. I also keep a written journal. If you need recommendations for places to stay, etc. I can look them up when I get home.
