Feb 26th leave Kras for Moscow
Feb 27th Childs medical in Moscow and documents submitted to embassy
Mar 2nd interview at the US Embassy
Mar 3rd Leave Moscow for home ( and my sisters birthday)
The past few days have been busy as I stated at the beginning, but productive.
Plane tickets to and from Moscow purchased.
Passports and Visa applications sent off
Bank notified to order new money
Employer notified of depart date.
Babys suitcase packed.
Friends and family called.
Dog, cat and house sitter arranged
Airport ride arranged
Still to go:
My suitcase
Pick up Mom from airport as she's still in Florida and needs to come home for this trip and repack.
Gather copies of all documents for court
Get batteries for camera
Figure out how to use skype
Pick up funds from Bank

Turn in leave paperwork to employer
Try to relax.......and breath too, that would be good.

Wow! So exciting! Yes...complete...a good word indeed. Well, it looks like you have a handle on what needs to be accomplished before you leave. Have a safe flight and don't forget to leave out any details on your future posts.
Oh, it's all so vivid in my memory still. You are in for a whirlwind! But the most exciting adventure, ever. Just remember to stop now and then and just breathe. You'll need your energy, so take care of yourself. I can't wait to see posts from Russia!

Sincerity is like traveling on a plain, beaten road, which commonly brings a man sooner to his journey's end than by-ways, in which men often lose themselves.
