Vera I appreciate the worst case scenario I really do. I would not be convinced to go into the war zone. Assuming that I did, many people would know where I am at at all times including the U.S. Embassy. If I were kidnapped and held for ransom, obviously that would provoke a response from the U.S. It just it not very likely, however I wouldn't do it.

As for the hotel in the U.S., we have talked about her staying with me. No mention of any hotel for her. I would not leave her alone in a foreign country when she has never traveled abroad. She grew up in Andriivka. We have exchanged hundreds of long emails to date. She knows what I do for a living with fraud protection for U.S. banks. Would someone invest so much time trying to scam me and to date, not one dime sent to her ?
