For half the night we hung out at my flat. Not really doing much. Eating great food…drinking some excellent beverages…and just spending time together. When Vlad walked in the door he told me that he had heard from his new job and he was leaving on Monday for Abu Dhabi, which means he is leaving on Sunday from Lugansk. The timing was a surprise as was the 48 hour notice, but he has been waiting to hear about travel plans to begin his one year internship at the St Regis Saadiyat Island for about four weeks. So, our evening of just spending time together, became one last time together before Vlad left us for a year. Yep, the three of us will all still be here when he comes back.
And as per the norm when the four of us are together, we decided to head to a discothèque at 1230A. This time came with some great stories. Sara and Kristen were turned away at the door for their shoes, no UGG like boots allowed. So we decided to head back to me apartment for shoes and a change of shirts. Vlad talked to the bouncer and he advised a wardrobe change. This was especially funny due to the fact that Sara is from Vegas and Kristen is from LA. In their natural habitat these girls do it right, but this is Ukraine. Turns out not everything goes here.
Finally we were in the door and ready to play. It had to be close to 130A by now, but we were having a fabulous time. We ended up home at around 430A. The party started to wind down and two of us had a 630A train to catch. Well once we got back to my flat, Vlad wanted to take pictures. This guy is going to miss his Peace Corps Volunteer friends terribly and wanted pics. See below. By 540A I had a shower, packed and Sara, Vlad, and I headed for the train station. We said good-bye for the last time, and Sara and I were off to Donetsk on no sleep. I suddenly realized I had not pulled an all nighter like that in more years than I could remember.
No comment…there are just no words!!! LMAO!!!
