Good News...and planes, trains and automobile

The good news is we got our visa's today!!!! Yeaaaa!!!! So, we are good to go!

We had a phone conference with Christi today concerning the whole trip! Some of it was hard to digest, but we will be on a plane (14 hours) then a few hours in Moscow to clean up, and then (11 hours) on a train to Voronezh where we will be staying in an apartment, and then (five hours) by car to the orphanage.(LOL) We will see the ministry of education the first day, go to the orphanage the second and possbily the third day, notary office and put back on a train to do everything above in reverse. We will have time in Moscow to tour, so we are planning to see some sites on Saturday because we will not fly out until Sunday. We will be very tired puppies when we get back! God is good!
