Wow, that 9.5 hr flight was a long one. Polina sleeps thru the night real well, but her over-cautious new parents dont really sleep well. We left Vladivostok and took the long flight to Moscow. Polina didnt really nap at all due to the noise, other babies crying and foreign noises. She was fine the first 4 hours, and then from hrs 5-9 she was cranky. The hour drive to the hotel she was still cranky. She doesnt really scream all that much, more like whinny cries. That could have been a much more painful flight then it was! Of course, all she wants is Mommy to comfort her so Maggie did the bulk of sitting with her. Well, she has been up now for almost 24 hours but is playing in the room. Hopefully that means all of us will sleep well tonight.
Tomorrow, US Embassy and walking tour of Moscow. Should be a good day! We cant wait to get home though. Some pictures...including her favorite fishy face that she does and the LONG flight from Vladivostok to Moscow.

I would say your flight was a big success! Grace (12 months) was awake for 9 straight hours of a 10 1/2 hour flight and was so overtired she was manic and slightly abusive! Glad you made it safely! Polina is so sweet!
Just wondering if Polina is her Russian name or one you chose. It so pretty and unique!
Polina is her Russian name....we kept it because of how beautiful it is.
Glad you made it to Moscow. Wow I thought our 5 1/2 flight was bad, that is long.
Enjoy your stay in Moscow. Our stay has been great, enjoyed it a lot!
