Good news...My friend Debbie got approval through her agency to visit as well and so we will meet in Atlanta and travel together. This makes me so much more comfortable about going without Adam. We will be staying an extra few days in order to save money on the flight...go figure. We will save about $1500 by staying the extra two nights. Too bad this doesn't work with Hawaii or Fiji, right? Anyway, we leave on the 18th, get into Kras on the 20th (due to the long flights and the time difference) We will see our girls on the 20th and the 21st and maybe even the 22nd...the 23rd-25th are holidays in Russia so I will not be able to see her on the 23rd and I wonder if anything will be open? I will probably be tired so this will be a good day to sleep before a grueling day of travel on the 24th.
We are opting to save the money this go round and not get the $300 nap at the Novotel in Moscow before hopping on the Kras flight. On the way over, we will be traveling for what amounts to 33 hours and on the way back, 24hours (including layovers) I would say I will sleep pretty good every time I get the chance! I just paid for my tickets (YIKES!), the visa application will be to it's destination in the morning and should be back to me in about a week...with little time to spare!
I am taking with me: a peg puzzle with animals on it, balloons, fruit snacks (she loves them), monkeys in a barrel, a few pair of shoes to try on her, a measuring tape:0) I plan to travel with a back pack and one very small suitcase that will only need to be checked in Moscow...now, if I can just focus on getting all my work done before I go...
