We finally made it to Vladivostok! What a trip! It's about 12:45 p.m. on Sunday now (about 8:45 p.m. on Saturday for all of you back home). Our flights all went well. It was just a very tiring trip.
We were greeted in Moscow by a lady named, Sophia. She helped us transfer to a different airport. In addition, she gave us a great deal of helpful information about our trip. She helped us to exchange our money and buy lunch. She was awesome! We will see her again on our trip back through Moscow.
When we arrived in Vladivostok, two ladies by the names of Lana and Irina picked us up. They drove us to our hotel and will be with us throughout our time here in Vlad. They will take us to the Ministry of Education tomorrow morning to register our dossier and then they will take us to the orphanage to the meet the girls.
Now, we are checked into our hotel and it is very nice. It's a western hotel (owned by Canadians) so they speak English, which is awesome! There are also two other American families staying in our hotel. They are both on their second trip, so their kids are staying with them. We will definitely have to visit with them.
Well, we are going to sign off for now. We both agree that it's "nap time". We have only slept about 4-5 hours since Thursday night. We are exhausted!
We'll update again soon! Take Care and God Bless!
