I'm not sure what you're referring to but the average guy (hopefully) pays for a bed, whether it's  $10 a night or $150

I paid $40 all in. That was because I staid by a local. But some of my friends were lucky and stayed at the organization owned property and did not have to pay.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I am planing a Poland and Ukraine trip for a friend. I am hitting a wall on the last bit. The guy will arrive in Zhuliany early Thursday morning from WAW and would like to spend Shabbos in Medzhybizh before heading back to NY on Monday. This is projected as a summer trip hence the late Friday afternoon. I could change it to project a winter trip if necessary.

Wednesday
10:40 PM    Depart WAW to Kiev-Zhuliany (IEV)
01:10 AM    Arrive at IEV,
01:15 AM    Clear Immigration and Claim Baggage
01:55 AM    Meet Driver and Depart to Hotel
02:20 AM    Staro Hotel Check In

Thursday
08:20 AM    Depart to Orach Chaim Synagogue
08:30 AM    Shachris, Mikvah, and Breakfast
10:30 AM    Return to Hotel
11:40 AM    Arrive at Hotel
03:00 PM    Hotel Check Out 
03:10 PM    Depart to Uman
06:10 PM    Arrive in Uman and Check In to Hotel
07:00 PM    Depart to Mincha/Maariv, Dinner, Tour Uman, and Visit R' Nachman of Breslov
10:00 PM    Return to Hotel


Friday
09:00 AM    Hotel Check Out
09:10 AM    Depart to Shachris
09:15 AM    Arrive at The Kloiz for Shachris
10:10 AM    Depart for Breakfast
10:15 AM    Arrive at Breakfast
10:50 AM    Depart for Berdychiv
01:50 PM    Rest Stop
02:05 PM    Continue to Berdychiv
03:00 PM    Arrive Berdychiv and Visit the Kedushas Levi
04:00 PM    Depart to Medzhybizh
04:50 PM    Rest Stop
05:00 PM    Continue to Medzhybizh
06:30 PM    Arrive in Medzhybizh and Check In to Hotel


At first I thought I was going to do the itinerary but then I did not know to deal with Sunday because my friend needs to have a good nights sleep before he returns home due to medical reasons. So I am thinking of doing the reverse now: https://goo.gl/maps/RNBxwdVWKHp
I am however hesitant because I don't know how I would do it considering that there is a later start on Thursday. Would you cut something out or do it entirely different?
