We arrived in Kyiv at 3:00 pm here which would be 7:00 am there. Our appointment is 9:00 tomorrow am. This is where we meet with the SDA and they show us files of available children. We are obviously hoping this goes well. Some quick observations about the trip so far.
-The longer the plane ride the harder and smaller the seats get.
-It`s extremely hard to leave your kids at home when you leave the country.
-Formula 1 race car drivers have nothing on the drivers here in Kyiv.
-1 big mac meal supersized with a burger and fries on side cost us less than $6.00 American
- When you start a long series of plane rides with the stomach flu, airline food does not make it better.
- Getting arrested at home is probably better than the security check points in Dusseldorf(lots of clothing getting removed and frisking for contraband- none found by the way)
-To get to our apartment which is 1 block off the square, we go down a dark alley past groups of people smoking , a little different than downtown Clarks Grove on a weeknight.
Well that`s about it for now we need to get some rest for tomorrow. To all the friends and family that are helping Collin and Tory keep busy when we are gone- Thank You!! We really appreciate it.

Great to hear that you are there safe and sound!
Bummer that you weren't feeling well and airline food would definitely not help that.
You're in our thoughts and prayers as you go into your appointment.
Keep us posted!
Glad you two arrived safely. Gail, you're right...it probably is warmer in the Ukraine. I think it's about -30 degrees windchill here. Take care, Cheryl

WooHoo! Glad you made it there safely- prayers will continue until I see your angel(s) myself! Barb was a little distracted today- I think her thoughts were with her friend today- as were many of us. Craig- keep your eyes open for that ebay treasure over there to pay for your trip! God be with you at tomorrow's appointment! <3 Jeanne T.
