We are in the busy final stages to get ready for our trip to Ukraine. It's funny that no matter how much you prepare, there is much to do at this point! We are eagerly awaiting word on our appointment date which we should find out anytime now. We are pre-packing for our trip (gotta fit in the suitcases, cars, airline size and weight limits), getting new currency from the banks to take along, learning key Ukranian words (yes, no, thank you, bathroom...)! A good contractor friend is helping us build out the boys room so we'll be chugging away this weekend (I have no actual construction skills so this is a good thing!)
I find myself wondering what the trip will be like. What 24 - 30 hours of travel will be like (I get bored on planes). Walking through airports and foreign cities where I don't know the language. Will McDonalds in Ukraine be the same as McDonalds here? What will it be like when we get to see Masha again for the first time since August? What will it be like meeting Andriy for the first time? Are we really going to stick out that much there being Americans? I am actually looking forward to the adventure of going on this trip, and much much more so looking forward to the day that is approaching when we walk out of the plane back in Texas with our two new family members!
