Flight from Detroit to NY was easy. Then at 3:30 after a 4 hour layover they started boarding us onto a Star Wars-like shuttle that took us out on tarmac to board plane for 4:15 flight. Flight did not leave NY until 6 pm and flight was almost 9 hours! We had exit row so plenty of room but too much traffic right next to restrooms. Met another family from PA who are also adopting. They lost my luggage, for some reason it went to Amsterdam. Should be delivered later in the day. Our facilitator met us at the gate at about 3 am US time. Definitely tired. About 40 minute ride into Kiev and to check in at apartment. We do have internet and air conditioning. It is very hot. Went and got a local phone, something to eat: potato pancakes, rice, cottage cheese dumplings with apricot jam and a pounded-very-thin breaded pork chop. Very hot. Finally crashed back at apartment after being up about 28 hours.
Thanks for the update.You may have to learn to cook. Just kidding ! I am glad you both made it there nice and safe.I'm very proud of both of you.Have great day.
