O.K.
Well I aint waitin a another month. I'm going in 22 days. And I am stain a FN month. Time to man up. BGPA saw your post regarding travel to UA. I changed my flight plan twice because of work and still come in around 1500$. I live in SE TX 100 miles East of The big H Town. Try Orbitz.com
Can anyone here tell me distance between Borispol and Train station.
thanks baron. You are most helpful. It will be quite the adventure I am sure. trying to polish my Russian a bit but I will be with my girl from day 1. It should be very interesting. She has a 13 hour train ride then says she will meet me at the airport. I am really excited I can't hardly contain myself.
My gf told me of that bus for twenty five grivna. I took it from the train station to Boryspil Airport. I befriended a Ukrainian man in the train and I had him buy the ticket for me. He got it for twelve grivna.
I know I said $12 USD in another thread, but I remember thinking I had a great deal. It must have been 12 grivna.
I just want to throw an online free service I use quite a bit; Google Earth. It is a very good satellite imaging service & you can imagine all the FSU countries are in pretty high resolution. The images are generally 2 years old. Your not going to get 'Real Time" for a free service. But the software has an amazing series of options & if you check the Transportation box it will show you every airport, train station. Metro tube... All roads are clearly labeled & you choose the level of detail you want. It can show locations of hotels, restaurants. I would recommend turning these layers on & off according to what you are trying to find or all the info & icons get crowded. There are also 'Google Info' notes you can turn on & people can leave a little icon to leave helpful notes like; 'this is tube station to get off for stadium'. Many, not all of those will be in Russian. You can also toggle back & forth between map & satellite views for point of reference.
Google Earth saved my life many times in Bangkok & would recommend anyone traveling to FSU country download onto home PC & also if you're taking your laptop. I never once fumbled around w/ a map written in Thai while in Bangkok. And FSU urban areas you can zoom in close enough to see color of car on the road.
I would consider it a MUST HAVE for acclimating yourself well to city you are visiting. Zoom out & you can follow the exact train tracks from the Kiev station all way down to Odessa.
Did I mention its FREE?
