Yes, that’s right. My gift to Kenny on his birthday this year, today, April 16, 2010, is a trip almost around the world. Arriving at the airport at 10:00am after a six hour car ride from Nizhniy Novgorod, we learned that our flight to Washington, D.C. has been cancelled. We are ash-stranded! We had two choices. First choice - Stay in Moscow and fly out on Monday, April 19. Our second choice was the Pacific ocean route from a different airport in Moscow. We are in the midst of waiting for our driver to return to us only to take us to another airport here in Moscow. Sveta has been on the phone with him. He only speaks Russian and we only have skype. Sveta is our go between and we have one way calling. We have to call her. Once we arrive at the airport, our flight leaves for Tokyo at 7:40pm tonight (11:40am EST). We arrive in Tokyo at 10:00am on Saturday, April 17. At night, we fly out of Tokyo to Chicago and then to Harrisburg.
ok, the best had to be this morning...Saturday here in the U.S...We skyped Grandma, Vinnie, and Ang early this morning before Grandpa left to go to Hershey. We were trying to find out if anyone had heard from you...No updates...according to Vinnie...Then Gabby came downstairs and announced that you had skyped late last night and were in an airport in Tokyo(that spelling doesn't look right but m contacts aren't in yet)....Anyways, I said," Oh, Vinnie your mom and dad are in Japan!" He thought I was fooling with him. He said, "My parents went to Russia, not Japan!" So I explained that they were finding another way to get home to him and his brothers and sisters...He's very excited to hear about your adventures when you get home!

Was this just an attempt on Kenny's part to have the longest birthday in history?
