We made it safe and sound and on time! The flights were fine and our flight attendent was from Ithaca and her brother lives in Clayton. We had a great chat with her and she said she spends lots of time up there and they go cliff jumping at a small lake about 15 minutes from Clayton. LOL! Oh and she used to work in Eastern Europe orphanges. There was lots to talk about.
The drive from the airport was a little rough. There is a ton of traffic and they drive very fast with a smoke going at all times. I was in the backseat and a little sick by the time we got to the hotel.(sigh) We finally ventured out for a little sightseeing and dinner but we are completely exhausted. We're back in the room and going to call it a night so we can get over the jet lag and get on Russia time.
Tatiana is picking us up at 10:30 to do a few things and catch a flight to Volgograd! It's really starting to hits us that we will see her on Wednesday. Only 1 more day!

Glad to see you made it. We tracked your flight until you were over Greenland then gave up and went to bed. Ali says "Hi". Love, Grammy and Da
So glad you are there. We kept saying thoughout the day: Where are Uncle Dan and Aunt Jill now? Nicholas wants to know if you saw any lights as you crossed over the Atlantic Ocean. But isn't it crazy what a small world it is! Did either of you know the brother from Clayton?! Take care and lots of love. Bobbi and the boys
