Out of Ust. Barely. Big snow storm and WIND. Couldn’t believe it, but Ingrid was late heading out of the hotel. Good Grief! Alfiya had to go up and roust her. Ye Gads, the one time you would expect everyone to be super early. Grrrrr. Sam and Sally were still in the orphanage’s sick room. Sam was totally layered and bundled. Hard for him to hold up his head. So, so hot. He is built for travel. Slept. Then woke up at airport, then asleep before the plane (prop) took off, then out for basically the entire flight. Woke up for about 10 minutes in order to guzzle down a bottle.

No seat assignments on flight. BUT kids went on first. Poor little Peter was terrified.

Sam was awake at the Almaty International Airport, but dozed off again on the trip to the Aiser Hotel. About 45 minutes drive. We stripped him out of his two snowsuits and let him play on the floor. He loves the full length mirror on the closet, the baby is just adorable you know. He bumps his head into it too. He also loves the bathroom tile floor.

He found the shoe shine stuff and loves tossing the round doo-hinky into the bathroom – cool sound on the tile floor.

The 2 hotel people found this note from the hotel funny. Um lots of english speaking people around, can't you ask them to proof read maybe?
