Okay, it will be a long trip
Well, we won't be travelling by plane (too much fog and planes are cancelled), we won't be travelling by train (24 hour trip due to 2 three hour stops) so car it is. Kostya's car has 315000 miles on it, I hope we make it. It is approximately 650 miles, so he is picking us up at 10:00 this evening to drive all night. I guess we will head back to the apartment and sit. :(
We did hit McDonalds...we figured along with the Internat we could order. You know, point at pictures. Well, the lady that waited on us knew a little English and we were fine. They have the most wonderful fried bread at McD's by the way.
David has had a couple of allergic reactions since we got over here and we are trying to control it with Benedryl, but his face was very swollen this morning. Keep him in your prayers. We are trying to narrow down what he has eaten that might be causing it. Unfortunately, we don't know what we are eating!!!
Hopefully we will be able to get in touch with you to tell you more when we get to the region!
As far as my diet plan...it's not working. The bread and cheese are wonderful and I am not walking THAT MUCH to get past it.
Thank everyone for your kind thoughts.
Oh and for those who know David, walking around outside the apartment without the translator is stressing him out!!!

Mmmmmm.... fried bread....
Forget about the diet for now! Just enjoy the new things you're seeing and doing and eating.
Do hurry and get us some photos.
Have fun driving, we did that in Russia and the police stopped us to look at our papers! Hope david gets better. Today is my last day at work. We finalize stuff tomorrow and leave for Kiev on Sat. Talk with ya soon!

Totally mmmmm on the fried bread!! Better take a bunch of it on the car trip with you... that doesnt sound like a fun road trip. I bet all this waiting to see your new son is just miserable!!
Sorry that David is all swollen up, that doesnt sound pleasant!
Send pictures if where you are if possible, I am trying to imagine all the fog...
It snowed here today, not to much but we got a dusting in Lawrenceburg!
Take care and have a safe car trip!!
Jennifer, Shannon and Emma
I hope you make it in your translator's car ok. I'm so excited that you will be meeting the boy soon. I look forward to a long post about him!! We are spastically checking your blog here at work, hehe!! Be safe!
On the up side...if the car has gone 300,000 + miles I just know it will push through a few more. Hopefully, David will be able to rest and get better and be fine by the time you arrive. And Carol we know you always plan ahead and so I am sure in the event of an emergency the car is stocked with necessary supplies. You are probably travelling as we speak and so I am rushing prayers to you! Hope to hear a good update soon.
