We’re sitting in Kyiv airport waiting for our flight to the US! The plane arrived late this morning, so our departure is delayed by 4 hours. I knew I booked a long layover in JFK for a good reason! The airline folks assure us 2 hours will be enough to get through customs and make our flight to Columbus. Let’s hope so!

The other reason I booked a long layover was to have a quick visit with my Peace Corps/Moldova friend Joanna. She lives in New York City now, and was going to come hang out with us at the airport for a few hours. I’m really, really sad I won’t be able to see her today.

On another note, Boryspil airport has radically changed in just the past 3 weeks since I flew to Georgia. The security and passport control have been totally rearranged, and now you can’t bring a bottle of water in the waiting lounge with you anymore. Of course, as soon as I don’t have a bottle of water handy, I instantly am parched and can think of nothing else except a drink of water.

After almost 3 hours waiting in various lines, we are finally sitting by the gate. Only 2 more hours to go until take-off!
