Greetings, Comrades! As a Tom Clancy fan, its pretty cool to know we’re cruising through Russian airspace. However, I don’t think anyone down there has the same appreciation of The Hunt for Red October as I do, or the outcome of the 1980 Olympics…

The flight has been really good so far, Emirates was a good airline for my first international travel. Food was impressive – orzo salad, lamb stew, cherry chocolate something for dessert, a stick of string cheese, and a Jack Daniels and ginger ale to wash it down. All jokes aside, it is pretty awesome to be watching the sunrise from 33,000 ft above Russia.


Estimated to have 4 hours left until landing in Dubai
