bought the tickets!

We were given the go-ahead to get our plane tickets! They are now officially in our hands (as much as e-tickets can be, I guess).

We leave next Friday, May 9, early in the morning from Orlando. Our local friends can fight over who wants to drive us there :) From there, we fly to JFK in New York and wait for part of the day until our direct flight to Moscow, which arrives there Saturday morning. Then we'll be in the car (don't worry, someone else will be driving) for 4-5 hours to get to the region where we will be staying. We'll have Sunday to recover/explore and on Monday, May 12, we will meet the baby boy who is waiting for us! If all goes well, we will sign off and submit paperwork so that the wait between trips will be as short as possible - it will be so hard to leave without him.

We'll be arriving back in town on Saturday night, May 17, around 10 pm in Orlando. Our local friends can fight over who gets to pick us up :)

Please pray for our planning details - lots to do and a week to do it!
