Where in the World is Ryan Wilcox?

Once again Chill is off an an adventure around the world. His final destination is Russia, but you know I'm not sure if he will ever get there. It seems that it is always quite an ordeal when he travels anywhere, especially out of the country. It might have to do with the fact that he flies standby. You know he is very lucky that he has a good friend that has given him 2 buddy passes which really has been a blessing (otherwise he might not have been able to go), but flying standby can be quite a challenge. I once again agreed to let him take another 2 week trip to Russia. 2 weeks really doesn't sound too bad after having him gone for an entire month last summer. I can handle it, plus Carson and I are going to spend the week of my birthday in Arizona so it will all be good. I dropped Chill off at the airport this morning and a few minutes after I walked back in the door Chill called and said it wasn't looking good. He didn't think he'd get on the flight to Atlanta and because of spring break he couldn't use his buddy pass the rest of the weekend. If that were me I would start crying and demand that I just go home and feel bad for myself...not Chill, he found a flight to New York and hopped on in hopes that he'd be able to get on a flight to Moscow. Once in New York, he tried to get on the Moscow flight, but it was full. Chill either had to find a flight or he would just have to turn around and flight back home and he was not about to do that. His plan was to either hop on a plane to Germany and find a flight to Moscow, or just spend the night at JFK Airport and buy a ticket to Moscow tomorrow. Chill called me and had me search for a plane ticket. I literally had 10 minutes to find a flight and book it so that he would know what he needed to do. During that time he found out he could get on the flight to Germany in about 5 minutes and fly business class so he of course couldn't pass that up. I think his exact words were, "it is so much better to fly across the ocean in business class." Before I knew it he was on a plane bound for Germany and I needed to find a flight from Germany to Moscow. Long story short, $358 later I found a flight and he should be on his way to Moscow tomorrow evening and arrive in Russia sometime early Saturday morning. So really at this point I have no idea where in the world Chill is. I assume by tomorrow morning he will be in Germany, but hey after all the chaos, you never know. I'm just glad it's not me in the situation because I would be a nervous wreck. He acted like it was no big deal and he was determined to get there. I'll keep you posted!
