We have arrived safely in Russia!!! We left New York (JFK) at about 12:00am - our original time was 10:45 but there was a delay with the plane so once we boarded we then sat on the plane for a few minutes until they got us moving! We flew economy ... YUCK ... we were smushed in a 4 person row and we had the middle two seats.... basically no room for stretching out and we both got little sleep but we managed! We will be taking the tip from other families to fly Buisness class on our 2nd trip back and when return with the boys!!!!
We did reserve a hotel room at the Sheraton at the Frankfurt Airport ... best idea we had.... nice room .... we used it for about 4 hours but it gave us a chance to get a nap and a shower .... ahhhh to feel human again!!!!
We took off from Frankfurt for Yeakterinburg at 7:25 on 3/29 and arrived in Russia at 4am on 3/30 ... what a crazy trip wit the time difference!!!
We have unpacked and are just relaxing before we have breakfast and then met Svetlana at 9:20am to go to the Ministry of Social Work for 10am to get the referral!
So that's our update. I will post pictures later this week!!!
Thanks!
Christine & Steve
