2006 Spring Group Tours

[Jack]

This spring we will have a twelve city Ukraine/Russia Group Tour. The first city we will be going to will be Kharkov on May 12th and the last city will be Moscow on June 29th. Some men will choose to attend two cities, others three or four, and others five, six or more. Some guys will just visit Ukraine, others only Russia and a some guys will visit both countries. You go to the cities that you have interest in or that you can visit during a time period that is convenient for you. We will be there to greet each man as he arrives into any of the cities. Dates that we will be arriving as a group into the various cities in order are; Kharkov May 12th, Lugansk May 16th, Dnepropetrovsk May 19th, Zapporozhye May 23rd, Kherson May 26th, Odessa May 29th, Kiev June 3rd, Ivanovo June 9th, Tver June 13th, Volgograd June 17th, Arkhangelsk June 23rd and Moscow June 29th. Some men may prefer to get to some of these cities a day, or a few days, before the group and some men may stay a day or two after the group. Our support staff with be with these men no matter how long they want to stay in any of these cities. Some men attending the group tour may elect to attend a city or two that is not on this group tours schedule and that is fine, well work it in.

Now let me walk you through the tour as if you were going to the first city (Kharkov) all the way through to our last city (Moscow).

A lot of men who will be starting with the first city will be met at the Kiev airport on May 9th, 10th, 11th. If you want to get to Ukraine a day early or a week early, no problem. For the guys getting to Kiev on May 10 or 11th, after greeting you at the airport, we will take you to the center of Kiev where we will have tables reserved at an outside cafe. Here a man can relax, have something to eat and drink, watch thousands of beautiful ladies walking by in their short, sheer, sensuous Spring outfits, while at the same time looking thru several catalogs of various marriage agencies including the largest, oldest and most respected marriage agency in Kiev. These men can pick out ladies they would like to meet privately or invite to the Kiev party on June 3rd. And if any of those thousands of beauties who are walking by interest you, just let us know. Later the evening of May 11th (about 9:20pm) we will take all the men to the train station where we will head to Kharkov. All the guys will have first-class sleeper berths and we will all be together as a group, many times having the whole first-class car to ourselves.

I expect there will be several guys on the train to Kharkov, Ukraine's second largest city, on the evening of May 11th, although some guys could have gotten there a day or two earlier should they have such desire. We will greet each man as he arrives arrive into Kharkov and we will take him to the hotel we are staying in or his own flat, whichever he prefers. More Universities in Kharkov than any other city in Ukraine. Many ladies from the surrounding area decide to live in Kharkov after graduating and as such the Kharkov area is "rich" in fine ladies. We were the first to ever take a group of foreign men to Kharkov. Our Kharkov party will begin at 7pm on the 12th and last until 11:00 or 11:30pm. Most guys arriving the morning of the 12th will have a time for a few private meetings with ladies they had been writing before the party begins. The group will leave Kharkov by chartered bus at 9am on May 16th and head to Lugansk.

We were the first, and are still the only tour group taking men to Lugansk. Lugansk is a goldmine of beautiful and sincere women! The problem with Lugansk has been the large number of scam agencies in this city over the years but if you have some honest and ethical agencies to work with, which we have four, then you have discovered the key to this goldmine. We will arrive into Lugansk in the early afternoon of May 16th. The party starts at 7pm.

At 9am on May 19th we will leave for Dnepropetrovsk by chartered bus. The party in Dnepropetrovsk will be on Saturday, May 20th. Most guys will have one or two private meetings with ladies they had been previously writing on the 19th, maybe one on the 20th, before the Saturday afternoon party. There are always more beautiful ladies wanting to attend the FirstDream parties in Dnepropetrovsk than we have room for.

We will leave for Zapporozhye at about 9am the morning of May 23rd. Zapporozhye, like Lugansk, is another goldmine of beautiful and serious ladies. These ladies do not see foreign men so often and are very excited when we bring our group of sincere guys. Most guys will have time for one, maybe two private meetings before the 6pm party starts. We will leave Zapporozhye on May 26th at 9am and head to Kherson.

Getting into Kherson a little after noon, it should be no problem to have one private meeting before the party begins at 7pm. As has been the case over the last few years, in Kherson we essentially have two parties in one night, one official party from 7pm to 11pm and a second un-official party at a very popular club located in the same facility as our hotel. At this club at 10:30pm you will usually see a long line of ladies from Kherson and the surrounding area waiting to get into the club. These are ladies who were not invited to the party but know (from the ads we run in the local newspapers) that there is a group of foreign men there who are seeking marriage with Russian/Ukraine ladies. If past history repeats, most men will not be getting back to their flats or hotel room until after 5 or 6am.

We will leave Kherson at 9am on the morning of May 29th and go to Odessa. Most guys will be in their flats (many of which are on Deribasscka St.) by 1 to 1:30pm. The party will start at 6pm. Always lot's of things to do in Odessa, the "Pearl on the Black Sea". And Arcadia beach has some very nice sites in late May.

The next party will be on June 3rd in Kiev. When guys arrive into Kiev is pretty much determined by how things are going in Odessa or a previous city.  Some guys will head to Kiev on May 31st, others June 1 or June 2nd, again it all depends on how things are going in Odessa, or what they have waiting for them in Kiev. Upon arriving into Kiev each guy will be met at the train station or airport and escorted to his flat. So much history to Kiev and so many beautiful ladies in Kiev, it is literally unbelievable.

Several of the men and the FirstDream staff will be flying from Kiev to Moscow on June 8th where everyone will be greeted at the airport and driven by chartered bus to their flat or hotel in Ivanovo. Again, maybe some men will have arrived into Moscow or Ivanovo on the 6th or 7th or earlier depending on that individual wishes. The Ivanovo party will begin at 7pm on Friday evening the 9th of June.

On the morning of June 13th we will leave Ivanono and take charter bus to Tver where the party will begin at 6pm. In Tver we will work with one of the most respected marriage agencies in Russia, Life Time Partners. We will leave Tver mid-morning of the 16th and take chartered bus to the Moscow airport where we will catch our flight to Volgograd.

We will arrive into Volgograd the afternoon of May 16th where the guys will have time for one or two private meetings with ladies they have been writing on the 16th and maybe one or two private meetings before the party starts mid afternoon on the 17th of June. We have several wonderful agencies to work with in Volgograd and expect the men will have many fine choices of beautiful ladies seeking marriage to a foreign man.

On June 21st we will fly to Moscow and then fly to Arkhangelsk. On June 21st and 22nd the men should have several private meetings with a LOT of beautiful ladies who will be seeing for the first time a group of foreign men coming to their city looking for a good Russian bride. For any man who dreams of a beautiful, slender, blue or green eyed blonde or red head, this is the place to come. And at the height of the famous "White Nights", each day is 20 hours long (you can sleep when you get back to America). We will have our party in Arkhangelsk on June 23rd. Due to the earlier response we are getting from so many ladies here, we might have a second "un-official" party in Arkhangelsk on the 24th or 25th.

On June 27th we fly back to Moscow where the guys will have time for private meetings before the party on the 29th. We are working with several good agencies in Moscow who have many ladies in their agencies who are ladies who have recently come to Moscow from smaller cities and villages. On average only about 20% of the ladies attending the Moscow party will be ladies born or raised in Moscow. Moscow is a city every man should visit at least once. So much to see and do in Moscow, much like New York in that it is a city that never sleeps. And there is an old Russian saying, "All roads lead to Moscow" and what this means to us men is if you were writing some ladies of interest from cities not part of the tour, ladies from Novosibirsk, Kazan, Omsk, Samara or any Russian cities, most ladies will jump at the chance to meet you in Moscow.

FirstDream group tours are very much customized around the individual men attending. Some men will start out in Kharkov or Kherson, others will join the group in Odessa or Volgograd. Some men might attend the second city, skip the third city and join us in the fourth city. You design this trip and what cities you want to attend. Some men who are writing only one lady will see this as an opportunity to meet other Russian ladies either before or after his meeting with the one lady and thus not putting all his eggs in one basket as well as meeting other Russian ladies

Any guy who at the time of signing up tells me he is a member of the RWD will get a 10% discount.

Jack, This sounds like a great thing for any AM whether they be interested in finding a wife or just experiencing a tour of Eastern Europe.

I am suprised you didn't include a side trip to Crimea. I think Yalta is the most beautiful place I have ever visited and the woman are attractive.

Good luck.

[Jack]

Well Larry your absolutely correct. It's a wonderful experience in a very relaxed environment to see parts of eastern Europe, while at the same time seeing, dating, the most beautiful women in the world. Every trip I try to go somewhere new, off the beaten path, and I try to take in all the history I can. Not until we went to Kharkov did I learn it was the site where the German's celebrated their last major victory of the war on March 15th 1943. After being pushed from Kharkov by the advancing Red Army after their recent victory in Stalingrad, an elite SS Panzer Corp equipped with Tiger tanks headed by General Manstein regrouped and retook Kharkov. Not only was the center of Kharkov destroyed, most of the elite SS Panzer Corp was as well. Their is a cool Museum in the center of Kharkov, about a four story red brick building which has many original photos taken in Kharkov during the war. I think a must to visit.
 
While in Poltava I saw the battlefield where the Battle of Poltava took place. This was the site where Peter the Great defeated the King of Sweden who at the time had the greatest army in the world. Guess the ole King got a little too far from the sea.
 
Our first trip to Krivoy Rog and I learned it was the longest city in all of Europe.  The Cossacks from Zaporozhye rested in this area on the way to Sech and over time became a settlement and place to rest. Legend says that the owner of this settlement was a Cossack named Rog. The town began to grow really rapidly only when iron-ore reserves were found there. Krivoy Rog grew up very fast. The settlements and small mining towns having been separate to this time now joined into one big town (thus helping to create the longest city in Europe) but the old names of them were kept: Gdantsevka, Dekanka, Karnavatka, Sukhaya Balka, Chervonaya Balka etc
 
This trip I am somewhat excited about being able to go to Arkhangelsk. I've been to the Black Sea, now I'll be able to go to the White Sea. And with this being the first group of foreign men to this city and in late June when the weather is perfect and each day is more than 20 hours of light, yes, I'm a bit excited.

I wouldn't like to insult you but your tours look like entertainment of old guys with pretty young ladies.  

[Turboguy]

Sign me up!  Sign me up!

[dragonfly]

[user=54]Turboguy[/user], are you old enough to sign up to the tour?


 

[Turboguy]

Some days I am not old enough to change my own diapers but if I did sign up I would be the oldest guy there.

[dragonfly]

Congratulations! You will be the most popular man among pretty Russian ladies!

[Turboguy]

Thanks, now if I can just find a collapsable rocking chair I can take on the plane with me so I can sit there and rock away with a shawl over my lap as I talk to all these young beautiful gals who will want to go shopping with me.

[dragonfly]

In my opinion, you have to be very healthy... You saw timetable of the tour... :D:D

[Turboguy]

If you saw the time tables on my own tours they are a lot worse.  The last one I was in Kiev and Moscow.  Flew back on a Thursday night at 10:00  Got in my pickup and drove 3 1/2 hours to Columbus Ohio.  Sat up on the internet for 2 hours, Worked a trade show for three days, came home for one day and hopped on another plane for Ukraine.   Or there was the trip to Kharkov, where I took the all night train with little sleep, arrived at the station at 5 am stood around freezing till 10, got into my room at 12, was on a date at 1:30, out in the nightclub till late and up for a flight the next morning.  Even with my rocking chair and shawl, the schedule Jack has set up sound like a relaxing peice of cake.

[dragonfly]

Poor  fiance...  You have to put up with terrible difficulties. :?

But you know the reason.

Hey Jack -

Thanks -

Killer-B:crackthewhip:

[Jack]

Killer, at this time two guys are going from start to finish, or so that say.

Last spring no one did the entire Ukraine/Russian tour although many did either the entire Ukraine or Russian tour.  Five of the guys visited cities in both countries.

So far a lot of guys liking Ukraine, but a like of guys are also liking Arkhangelsk, Volgograd and Ivanono.

I'll pm you.

[Killer-B]

Thnx Jack - Got it - Will write more later as I'm pressed for time-

Cheers,

Killer

One thought I had and since I posted the questions about the way Jack does his parties, I will post this thought too.  My other posts were not meant to be negative.  I just had those concerns and Jack did a good job of answering them.

Actually I really enjoyed the three trips I made to EC's socials.  I had a nice time, made some good freinds among the guys and in two of the three came back thinking I had found my gal.

Once the dust settled and I started to plan and do my follow up I found that both of the ones I thought were my gal were really scammers.  I think the large socials are magnets for them because they know a lot of the guys are a little nieve, mostly making thier first trip and picking the socails because they are comfortable for a newbie.  You know the saying about safety in numbers.

I think the biggest plus would be that gals are not walking in off the street so the percent who were scammers would likely be the same percentage as you would find in any method of meeting FSU women.  I think Jacks method would be a cure for the biggest problem I saw in the socials.
