Hello All,

An update on what is going on. We booked our flights last friday. We are definetely leaving on 4/15 for TVER. Our flight leaves JFK at 6:40pm arriving 12:00 noon in Moscow the next day. Time difference is 9 hours. I am not so sure they practice daylight savings. For some reason I think they do not.

We will then board a van for the 2.5 hour ride to the region of TVER. Not so sure if we will get a chance to goto Easter Service in TVER, but we are going to try.

Tentative schedule of events:

On Monday we go to the Baby House and see Alex. At that time we will go through a medical exam with a Russian doctor and our translator. We may also bring a western trained doctor along as well. If we are OK with Alex, then we will state our intention to adopt or not.

On Tuesday, I beleive we will go back to the Baby House, spend some time with Alex and possibly go through the 8 doctor medical exam for us.

Not sure about Wednesday yet.

Thursday travel back to Moscow for some sight seeing.

Friday travel back to the USA.

Still working on our extensive check off list of things to do before we travel.

Till next time.
