LIVE FROM NEW YORK

Hey Everyone! We FINALLY made it…to New York! What was supposed to be a quick 2 hour flight from Orlando to JFK turned into a lovely five hour extravaganza! Who knew this flight would also include circling over JFK, running low on gas and having a delightful detour in Newburgh, NY. Thank heaven that JetBlue has DirectTV.

But that wasn’t the last of the mishaps. Chloe was injured in a luggage drive by but luckily her big toe survived the incident (minus a piece of toenail)! Mikaela went to check in for our flight to Moscow only to discover that “she had already checked in” It took 45 minutes, but she was able to get her ticket and make it through security to join the rest of us!

Other than having limited (yet overpriced) food choices, the experience has been good so far! All the mishaps and extra flying time actually brought us closer as a group, and its only day one of this amazing experience.

Ok…our flight is about to board! This our last blog from the States…see you in Ukraine!

Xoxo,
Sarah and Chloe
