Up before the 7 am alarm.
Moved quick to get ready and finish packing.
Driver arrives at 7:50. Got my $ 200 USD damage deposit back.
Took only 15 minutes to get to the airport.
Paid him the 200 UAH and saw that my flight was on time.
In the lounge at 9:40 having paid $ 15 USD for 15 kg. overweight.
Met a "Hamilton" a cook, for the US army in Afganistan. He was one crazy hombre.
Luggage slow to come out in Kiev, and I had minimal time between flights.
Grabbed a cart and beelined it to Terminal "B".
Used the Biz Class counter to check-in and felt really, really, relieved with that Boarding card in my hand.
Security & Customs, no issue.
I sprinted to the gate only to discover, that there was no boarding. They mistakedly had let people on early, and now had to pull them off!
It was an hour before we started to pass thru the gate. So bought some duty-free with the remaining UAH I had.
However, I got my Emergency exit row window seat and I was one happy dude.
Except for the fact that I was leaving.
Tried to lay back and catch some ZZZZZ's while dreaming i.e. reminising, of the great time I just had.
Landed at 5:23 local and caught a limo home.
