Pictures of the Novokuznetsk Airport and my "Ice Field" :)
We were again taken by bus to the plane out on the runway. So surreal to board a plane on what I would say was an ice-field (ok that might be a little bit of an exaggeration) in the dark (it didn't get light outside until 9am in Sibera) at 9 degrees below zero. This flight was on time and we got into Moscow with no problem (5 hour flight).
Our flight was delayed in Moscow to Washington DC causing us to miss our DC to Chicago connection. It was ok though, this was our first delay and it was only a 3 hour delay. This time in the Domodedovo airport we were in gate area A and there were a bunch of cafes. We found a Sbarro, PIZZA! and ate before heading through security.
Our flight home was fine and we were able to sleep for a few hours. Got into DC, caught the 7:30pm flight and landed around 8:15pm CST. We said good-bye to Sandra and Sandra and headed out to meet my Mom & Dad for the ride home. We finally walked in our door roughly 31 hours after we left Novokuznetsk.
What an adventure. I will post pictures soon!
Now we need your prayers that our return is quick and we can bring Maks home where he belongs.
Thx! I LOVED reading all of this.... 9 days till we make that journey!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like everything went so well and I've been waiting to hear all this wonderful news. I talked to Roger last night and you were in DC at that time. Welcome home!

Your update was fantastic! I hope that by some way that the rest of the adoption process goes faster than anticipated so that you guys can get little Maks home with his Mommy and Daddy as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your story, so very similar to ours, although ours was almost 4 yrs ago. Our son was 13 months old when we brought him home from Vladimir Region.
