First trip to Kharkiv to meet #teamsps was awesome! So much talent and enthusiasm. Great time!

Boarded ✈️ in KBP to AMS. The exit door of this airplane is very cold. Weather in Ukraine feels identical to Minnesota.

✈️ UIA plane headed to AMS.

2.5 + 3.5 + 4.5 + 3.75 = approximate hours of sleep for each day of this trip. (Crazy tired.)

Just landed in MSP! Long day of flying!

Customs, then Baggage claim, then Uber, then big hugs at home!

Out for traditional Ukrainian dinner.
