I am really trying to adjust to the new time zone...

For example last night my cousin and I were trying so hard... that we stayed up till 6am solving all the wold's and personal problems. :)

(secretly, Im trying to get all of them - the whole Russia and Moldova change to our time zone. Wish me luck)

I left the States

The journey started in Washington DC at 5 pm on September 3.
That caused me to miss Sarah Palin's speech. I will have to watch it later online. But I know she did AMAZING. It was perfect. Im so proud of her. Go Sarah!

My layover in Amsterdam ended up being in Copenhagen.

I flew with SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) - the best airline EVER.
Amazing service.
The friendliest flight attendants.
Phenomenal food - never thought I would say it about any plane food.
Snacks non-stop (for ex. salted peas)
Selection of 20 movies (Watch Smart people. Its great!). Plus Video games! - have you seen video games on planes before???
I had 4 seats to myself and was so comfortable.
And their blankets.... I could say a lot about the blankets. Red, wool, not airplane cheap stuff. So cozy, so perfect.

The whole trip took a little over 12 hours.
I'm in Moscow now. Visiting with my family. Staying at my uncles. I grew up with two of his oldest kids. However, for the first time ever met his 2 younger ones - Ivan, 8 and Anton, 5. They are ADORABLE.



the weather is amazing.
Im still a little confused on what time of the day it is, also, Im pretty tired since I didnt get any sleep on the plane... trying to watch all 20 movies and solve all the sudoku puzzles.

Love. Oli
