  How all this started…Everything started on June 19, 1998. We departed from Boryspil International Airport. It was not a non-stop flight. We flew from Kyiv to Vienna, from Vienna to New York, from New York to Washington. The longest trip was over the Atlantic Ocean. It took more than 8 hours and it was rather tiresome, though the service was great. We were given food twice and from time to time we could have some drinks. There were more than 12 music channels, built into our seats, and we could choose music to our tastes. There was a big screen in the middle and some films were shown during the flight. Films were broken a few times and we were shown some exercises to relax our bodies, information about the weather outside, the height of our flight, the countries we were passing by. We flew over Germany. ,Holland, England, Scotland, Ireland, Greenland, Canada. The countries below were so small, but so beautiful.

  New York ...New York…

  When we arrived in New York it was early morning in Ukraine and we were so sleepy that it was hard to us to say a word or to make an extra movement. We had to go through our custom and passport control. The custom officer asked us one and the same question “What's the purpose of your visit?” We answered “Business. It’s a professional development seminar." The custom officers, the porters, all the clerks and many other workers in the airport were black and my first impression of the city was “a city of black people.” JFK International Airport in New York

  Staying at the hotel

  Embassy Suits is a 9- storied red-brick building which could be easily called a paradise for those on business and tourists. When you enter it, you get to the lobby( in the picture) with exotic trees and pot flowers, a waterfall, a breakfast area, an Italian restaurant, a swimming pool to the right. The glass roof gives you the idea, that you are in the open air and you can even hear the birds singing.

  The rooms or “suites”

  We had a double room for 3 of us. It was well-furnitured with 2 big beds, a sofa, a TV- set, a microwave oven, a bath, a telephone ,which could connect you with any part of the world! (11 years ago when we haven't heard of mobile phones and only very rich people had computers at home). The room-maids cleaned the rooms every day, changed towels and they always came when we were not in, not to interfere with us. They made our beds and could send our dirty clothes to the laundry if we put them into a special plastic bag.

  The story goes on…

  And this is a “terrible" glass lift, called “an elevator" by Americans. It is hanging over the lobby and many of our friends were afraid to use it. But for those brave, it was a pleasure as a beautiful view of the whole hotel was before your eyes. One more interesting thing to be learned about Americans! When the door of the elevator opens and one of them comes in, he immediately says ” Excuse me” because he thinks he breaks your quietness by coming into it! Oh, yes, they are really so polite!

  A few words about meals

  Like in all high-class hotels breakfast is included into the price of your staying. From 7o’clock in the morning you can come down to the breakfast area (in the picture) and eat as much as you can. The choice is wide. For having business parties and dinners there is a Ball room, a Wine room. There is a nice tradition called “A happy hour" there from 17 till 19 o’clock. All the visitors are given 2 free drinks. You can sit in the smokers’ area or in the non-smokers’ one, enjoy your drink and communication by the candlelight. The Italian restaurant ”Panevino” was at our disposal too. And it was as convenient as the other places mentioned above.
