Hey All,
As you can see from Ben's entry, we were unpleasantly surprised by some complications while trying to check in for our flight yesterday. None of us had known about the Visa until we were told at the counter, as Ben said it was nobody's fault, just a spot of bad luck. A spot of good luck, however: that we have someone as optimistic and positive as Ben on our team working with us. Dan and I left with heavy hearts, but immediately started thinking of solutions for how to get Ben with us ASAP. Dan started drafting emails while on the plane, and we sent a few from Amsterdam. We have now arrived in a humid and rainy Kyiv, and are at the National Office with Viktor sorting a few things out. We arrived to some good news, there seems to be a Visa solution! We are hoping to have Ben with us by the end of the week.
