Our itenerary

Here is a brief version of what we will be doing on this first trip:

Oct. 20th - leave US
Oct. 21st - Arrive to Moscow before 1pm, train to petro
Oct. 22-23 - Stay in Petrozavodsk where we will meet our son!!!
Oct. 24 - doctor visit in Moscow
Oct. 25th - leave Moscow


It seeems so surreal that we are leaving in less than a week. We have a variety of emotions going though us (none of which at all resemble calm or collected). We have spent the weekend packing, getting last minute paperwork together and reserving hotels and apartments in Moscow and Petro. The most difficult thing (gulp) will be leaving our daughter while the best will be meeting our son for the first time (Wow - this is so different than being pregnant) and then again knowing we will have to leave him there...ugh - I can't imagaine how that will go.

We are so excited that you leave in four days. Yeah. We had the same emotions as you. We were anxious to leave our son as we traveled to meet our daughter. It is not an easy thing to do. Luckily, your trip sounds a little quicker allowing you to get back home to your daughter. We would recommend Webcams if you have time to get them and set them up. Of course, this will come in handy more for trip 2 than trip 1. The best of luck to you and we look forward to following your journey to meet you son!
