another 2:30 am morning. taxied to the Kiev airport and had our luggage out of storage by 4:00 am. needed to check 3 additional bags, but fortunately didn’t get hit with any fees for bags that were over the allowed 23 kgs. 3 hour flight to Amsterdam, then hung out in the KLM lounge for 4 hours waiting on our next flight. 8 hours in business class to Chicago, arriving around 2 pm. immigration with Лена was surprisingly easy as there were no problems with her visa. collected the bags and taxied to the apartment downtown. intended to nap for an hour or so, but didn’t awaken until the next morning.
