Distance Between ladies

[viking]

Question

You are speaking (voice, mail, email) with several ladies. For the sake of argument, 3 of them are very interesting, you want to meet them. One is in say Moscow, another in Odessa and the third in Sibera near China. The point here is that they are a pretty good distance apart.

Considering most of us are 9-5 ers and limited in vacation time, and travel bucks  do you do this in one trip and just become friendly with the Areoflot attendants and realize most of the time is not face to face but traveling? Or, take 2-3 small trips of limited duration? Or ask them to try and meet you in some central location knowing you are biting the bullet for airfare/hotel, etc but you remain on the ground for most of the trip. Or, or, or? Thoughts?

I have always flown over to meet only one specific person and taken more than a few days to get to know her. But this wrecks havoc on my budget and vac time. Not to mention needing a new passport for visas sooner than expected.

Ooops. I think this went into the wrong section. Oh well.
