Poor Iryna - imagine staying awake for about 24 hours - yikes! It's truly the best way to get over jet lag, though, since if you can keep to a normal schedule in the *new* time zone (aka, little to no napping the first day and going to bed as close to your regular bed time as possible), then your chances of adjusting are much better. That said, I nearly always conk out as soon as I get to wherever I'm going when I travel more than 3 time zones :-)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824106851597894525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837439793897479536.post-66682008018311421422011-04-13T07:19:05.743-04:002011-04-13T07:19:05.743-04:00I'm so glad you are posting about your trip. ...I'm so glad you are posting about your trip.

From a family of 5 to 8 would be very fun and exciting. Thanks for sharing your journey and enjoy the Russian food for me!
