Travel Dates



We got our travel dates and information today!!! We are leaving JFK in New York on Saturday, October 24th and flying to Moscow ... we arrive in Yekaterinburg on Sunday, October 25th and it looks like our court date is Thursday, October 29th!!! We will get to visit the boys the few days before court and then we can visit them while we wait out the 10day appeal period. We should be able to pick them up at the baby home on November 11th and fly to Moscow for embassy paperwork and the pediatrician visit!! If all goes well ... we will leave Moscow on Saturday, November 14th and arrive at JFK around 3:05pm on Saturday, November 14th!!!

Gotta love travelling with time difference!!! Things are really coming together and we are busy with all our last minute preparations and wrapping things up at work!!!

Happy days!!! I see you are flying in to Moscow instead of Germany is it any shorter?? It will be here before you know it and they will be home for the holidays YAH!!!!!!!

Yeah. Colby seems to really like the Little People now. He also likes to play with small trucks, tractors, and even MatchBox cars. They are nice and small. When we were waiting for our layover in Frankfurt I found a small airplane, like a MatchBox. It is an actual Lufthansa plane (which is the airline we took). I had Colby play with it during our visits and used it to try and explain where he would be going. Just a suggestion!

Yippee!!!! So exciting when you see actual departure/arrival dates...it really makes it REAL.

Looks like you'll have the same whirlwind Moscow trip like us. We arrived on a Wednesday night, prepped VISA p/w on Thursday, Embassy on Friday and HOME on Saturday.

Very excited for you!
