whew-- a crazy day of getting ready to go---good thing we've been packed for 2 weeks. Good flight from Vegas to Cincy-- I say that because I got upgraded-- not sure Mary feels the same way--- she was in sardine class-- HEY she said it was okay!

Had breakfast with mom in Cincy-- exciting time since she locked her keys in the car and was late for making meatballs for the church supper--- we did teach her how to say "meatball" in Ukrainian to stun and amaze her friends at Sacred Heart-- and so that the didn't think she was just "playing hookie".

Back at the airport now-- we board Air France to CDG and then on to Kyiv tomorrow morning. Tonight is DST-- does that mean the flight takes an hour less??------ I wish, as we are both in sardine class on the rest of the flights.

there are a group of Russian kids on our flight. They are orphans on the way back after a homestay abroad program--- lots of cute little ones.

more from CDG if we can find a hotspot!


later
