Monday, March 14, 2011 Ukraine

This will be fast - it's 10:30 here and this our first chance to get connected since we packed the laptops yesterday. It's been a whirlwind of travel to be sure. Our biggest concern (?) right now is that none of the adapters we brought to convert the wattage for the laptops will work (our power cords are 3-prong). So, until tomorrow when we get to a computer store we have limited battery.

Highlights:
We get to see Sasha tomorrow!! Lucas burst into Spongebob's "It's the Best Day Ever".
Lucas was a dream traveler and he LOVES this city.
Kiev is beautiful and full of iconic contrasts - it is gorgeous.
The travel was hectic but full of grace.
All 10 of our checked and carry-on bags arrived on time and safely.
We sped through customs and immigration.
This dream is coming true and we all feel it.

  6. So happy to hear you made it there safely and are only hours away from seeing Sasha again. I get chills just thinking about this. If you see Kirill please tell him hello and remind him that we love him. I am sure we will hear about your visit when we talk to him this weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you! Landrys
