Tour History
Odessa September 29 — October 8, 20054
This trip began like the others by meeting most of the men at JFK airport in New York. I arrived there at 2 pm and had a few hours before the plane was scheduled to take off. I took this opportunity to walk around with my Anastasia sign held high so the clients could find me and know someone was there to help guide them the rest of the way. One of the men was extremely happy to find me since he had forgotten his plane tickets and wasn’t sure what to do but after a couple of phone calls the problem was resolved and we were on our way. The plane departed JFK on time and arrived in Vienna where we had a short layover before our next flight. I think everyone was happy to get a chance to stretch their legs and know the majority of the flying was now behind us.
We arrived at the Odessa airport on time and Anastasia staff, Margarita, Irina, Karina and Olga was there to greet us. Once again one person’s luggage got lost in the shuffle so we waited while the necessary papers were filled out before leaving for the hotel Odessa which was a 30 minute bus ride away. After arriving at the hotel and checking in all of us went to our rooms to unpack and rest a little before our orientation meeting scheduled for 6pm. The Anastasia staff and I discussed all of the do’s and don’ts plus answered a bunch of questions during the meeting. Afterwards, everyone met at the Steak House for the optional dinner and took this opportunity to get better acquainted with the Anastasia staff. The night ended, for me, around 10pm. Most of the men followed my advice and made it an early night also, knowing that the next three days was filled with socials and they would need their rest.
The following morning I went down for breakfast at 7am. It was obvious by the lack of other men that the jet lag was starting to take effect. The breakfast here was very good and left no room for complaints. Following breakfast I went to the hospitality room to see if they needed any help but found things well under control and moving along smoothly.
The first two socials were only a mile or so away from the hotel so we loaded up the bus and started over. I was surprised by the large turn out of ladies this time. Even for Odessa, the most popular tour city, there was more than I had expected and the smiles on the men’s faces told me they weren’t about this either. The first two socials went as expected with most of the men meeting at least one special lady and arranging dates for the next few nights. It was great to see everyone busy and dating but it left me with very little do so I met with a few friends for dinner then went back to the hotel. The third social was in Kherson, which was a 3 hour bus ride away but well worth the ride. The night club here was very spacious and the ladies were happy to see us. This day went by very fast but all of us had a great time. A few men even stayed in Kherson to spend more time with the ladies they had met. The rest of us arrived back to the hotel at 11:30pm and met for a drink in the top floor bar before calling it a night.
The next few days were filled with dating, bowling and go-carting. I think most of the guys and their dates especially liked the go-carting. Well all except one girl who had never driven before and was intimidated by the others flying past her. Even the girls from the Anastasia staff did well if you don’t count the one that spun out twice on the straight away :-) All in all, it was a good tour and great to see my friends again. I think all of the men would agree with me on giving this tour a big thumb’s up. Thanks again.
