We are getting together our travel arrangements. Our house sitter will be here. I hope he loves our kitties, and fish. They will be sleeping with him at night. Well, the kitties, not the fish :O)
We are only waiting on our State police letters and we are ready to go as far as our dossier. I posted a picture of the map of Ukraine. We will be traveling first to Kiev, then by overnight train to Kramatorsk, which has the little box around it. I just hope Whale does ok while on the train all night and with the nasty toilets, EWWWW! He will be spending his 5th birthday in his home country meeting his baby sister for the first time. I am so excited and overwhelmed with all that is happening. One month from today and we could be meeting our daughter for the first time face to face. We have seen pictures of her since she was 6 months old, but now she is almost 3 years old and she is coming home. We will see the beauty of Ukriane in the fall. I am actually scared and nervous this time. I was not like this with Whale. I think it is the fact that we have seen her and grown to love her over the past 2 years and now she will be a reality. Wow!!!
There is so much to do arrange bill payments while we are gone (yuck), get our prescriptions filled, make sure we pack all we need, cleaning the house top to bottom, and on and on and on. Ok, I am tired just reading all we have to do. :) I sure hope my DH brings me a Venti Frappachino home tomorrow morning, I need it. Oh and by the way, my favorite Starbucks drink is a Venti Mocha Frap with a shot. mmmmmmmmmmm! Yummy!
Night for now.
