Ok so I finally made it to Ekat Russia Friday night at 9PM. Yes one day late due to a unforeseen delay in New York. It was not pretty, I was 5 minutes late to get my boarding pass in New York on Aeroflat due to Delta's delays weather, no pilot and light broken on landing gear. So I land at 5:50 get to Aeroflat check in at 6:10 for a 7:00 flight and they told me check in ended at 6:05. Oh was I frustrated and upset the plane was there, they would not check me in and Delta was no help even thougth it was there fault due to all the foolish delays. So I spent the night at the Best Western and not sure where my luggage was.
Thursday I go to check in I actually was the first one in line of course in the same clothes so I am sure they recognized me and they had the pleasure of telling me that my ticket was never changed by my travel agent. Now I talked to the travel agent Wed night and told everything was all set WRONG. So after a few calls a few more tears I have a ticket and I am thru security Jake here I come. Tired and in dirty clothes hping my luggage is on its way.
For my MHS friends of course I had Flat Jackie in my carry one so to cheer me up we shared a diet coke at the Best Western in New York. I do not know how to rotate the picture so here is Jackie side ways!!
Ok now for the HAPPY stuff i got to Ekat and the Park Inn no problem Sytlana picked me up at the airport, my luggage arrived in Moscow so now I have clean clothes YAH so back to LIFE is GOOD. I check into the Park Inn and rest before my big visit with Jake.
We get to the baby house at 10 am and in comes Jake to the new play room. He was so cute came over to me and h had pants on no tights so Mattie will be happy to hear his brother had pants on not tights. Not sure if he remembered me but he did not cry and loved playing with my water bottle especially the water in the bottle. So I think he likes water Yah since we have a pool and love the beach. We played for about 2 hours he was laughing and running having lots of fun. They came and took him for lunch and can visit tomorrow at 4.
So back at the hotel I took a nap then went to the toy store to get Matties new Russian police car because the last one I brought him home was broken so he will be happy. Then I took a walk in the -20 degree weather but it was not so bad found a store to get some diet pepsi and then headed back before it got dark. So day one in Ekat was GREAT!!! ENjoy the pictures of my boy and me!!!
