We all made it back safely to Kiev. The flights were fine and the crew were all troopers as usual. Everyone was knocked out when we arrived in Kiev, and it took awhile for us to all get off the plane. Ibrahim and Ish both had to use the bathroom, I had to shake and shake and shake Isa awake, also had to get everyone in jackets because after you exit the plane on the runway, a bus is waiting to take the passengers to the customs area. So we are all going down the stairs to board the bus, Inayah forgets her nintendo gameboy so Idreis runs back up to get it, all during this time of bathroom breaks, jackets and forgotten items, the whole group of people who were on the plane are also on the bus already, waiting on us, I felt kind of bad walking down the stairs off of the plane when I glanced over and saw the bus with all the people on it, had to be at least 10-15 minutes, because I was taking my sweet time. Customs went fine and can't wait to have some beef bacon for breakfast.
Spent the day finishing unpacking, I left with one bag and came back with ten... but at least now we have everything we need to enjoy life overseas and feel comfortable. Wii night should be a lot of fun. Inayah and Ibrahim slept til about 330pm, this is after staying awake until around 630am.
We went for an evening walk and found a coffe place that is really nice, we could not order very many drinks because I left money at the apartment and Ishmael only had 45 grievans and I had a little less, so the original plan was to share hot chocolates, luckily I found some money in my jacket because we would have all been sipping on one drink. They also have internet access and are open 24hours. So that is nice to find another hang out spot or place to go with the children, or alone.
Inayah decided it was time to play her nintendo and goes to get her bag and lowe and behold, NO NINTENDO, she forgot it in the seat pocket of the plane.... not surpising at all when I think about the sleep walking state she was in.
I started reading PRIDE by Lorene Cary, if anyone has time to go to the library we could do an online book club together. let me know
