Visas En Route! Thanks Nick!!!!!!

Just got a call from Nicky as he was leaving the Embassy, visas in hand. Whooooopieeee.

So we're off, on Friday, April 27th, 9:20 pm, bound for London on United, where we'll then fly Air Astana to Almaty and hopefully make a tight connection to Ust-Kamenogorsk. We should arrive April 29th at 7:10 am local time, and hopefully go right to the orphanage to meet our little boy and begin the 14 day bonding period.

The return trip is scheduled for May 22. They ask for a whole week to schedule the court date. That's what really makes this trip so dang long, and Justin has to be present in court. He left for Miami this morning. When we return he'll have a little time to recover before going back to Miami for a customer event. Actually, this 'event' has been a blessing because its allowed us to turn up the heat a bit--we must leave because we must be back. And I honestly think that if we were waiting for the conventional means of getting the visas, we'd still be waiting.
