June 30...Part 1

4:30am came waaaaaaay too early this morning. But I dragged myself out of bed and got redy anyway, of course! I had a lot of trouble fitting everything into my baggage. It's really hard to fit everything for 20 days plus a sleeping mat, pillow and sheets! So before leaving for my flight I had several teary moments of frustration as I dumped out my carry-on bag once again, saying, "I'm not going." Finally, after eliminating a couple of things, everything JUST fit and was JUST under the weight limit.

While I was waiting to board I had a toasted bagal with herb & garlic cream cheese (I put that little detail in for you, Stacey!). On the flight I watched Identity Thief, but had to watch the last 10 minutes with no sound, as we were landing and therefore weren't allowed to wear headphones.

Once off the plane I walked all the way across the terminal, took the shuttle bus to terminal 3, and then waited in line for one and a half hours to check in at Aeroflot. Unfortunately my flight had also been delayed, so instead of leaving at 2:00pm it is leaving at 4:3pm. So what did I do with my spare time? I got food of course! I had a "Superbiotic wrap" that had lettuce, cucumber, chick peas, corn, roasted red peppers and dressing. It was alright. I really wanted something junky instead.
