I arrived in Moscow about 12:30 this afternoon, local time. To me, any flight that takes off and lands as it should is a good flight. It's what happens in-between that makes each flight unique and provides a story. We boarded the plane on time, taxied out to the run way, sat for a little while, then literaly backed up to the gate. That's right, the pilot put the plane in reverse and we went back to the gate. I don't know why we backed up; but about and hour and twenty minutes later we took off. The flight was a bit bumpy through out the night. In the middle of the night, a new passenger made himself known on the plane. The new passenger was a little yappy dog that got out of his carrier. He was running up and down the isle barking away, it seems that he woke up and wanted to let everyone know about it! I thought it was pretty funny even though he woke me and the people around me up. It also seemed like his owner must be used to the barking because it took quite awhile for him to wake up then run down the aisle and get the dog. Very funny to watch.
Just got to the hotel a little while ago, lots of traffic. Tomorrow morning I go for my medical exam then out to the orphanage to see the little man, I'm looking forward to that.

If you were able to find the humor in a yappy little dog waking you up mid flight then you are well on your way to being a great parent. A sense of humor is so vital. How else would we get through those weird parenting moments? (Like the time my son decided to lick the dog because he loved him so much and wanted to help him clean himself??)
Good luck with your medical and enjoy your reunion with the little man.
So glad you arrived safely. Vika is going to love the story about the little dog running around the plane! Hope you have a great day tomorrow with the little man.

Nice to see that you have set such high standards for a successful flight. But given your various experiences... :)
Hope that they find you healthy at your medical. Luckily there will be a team of doctors on hand.
Best of luck with everything. And don't forget to hug the little man.

So happy that you are about to see your little guy again. Enjoy every moment! We will be thinking of you both.
