Salt Lake Airport

Here are a few pictures that my son took the night we came home. It is so good to be home. We were so happy to reunite with our family and friends. We would again like to thank all of you that came out to meet us, especially those with children from Poltava. That meant a lot to the girls. Happy holidays everyone!

THANK YOU FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

What a wonderful feeling to be greeted tonight at the airport by so many family and friends. The girls especially appreciated friends from Poltava. I will post pictures in the next couple of days when I get some from family-my batteries gave out! So good to be home. Can't wait to see Jeff, Ann, and Ruslan again.

Heading Home

Hi again everyone. I hope you will be able to read this. This internet cafe has old, make that very old equipment to say the least. I am not able to read the screen, but I know I'm typing somethng. We will leave Wednesday morning at 5:34 am. Our expected arrival is Wednesday December 3rd at 6:34pm on United Airlines #6347. I hope we make it. We only have an hour and a half in Denver to get through customs/immigrations etc. We fly Kiev - Frankfurt - Denver -Salt Lake. If I figured the time difference correctly, we will leave here at about 6 pm Tuesday night Salt Lake time. Needless to say, we will be tired. I'm sure the excitement of finally being home will over ride our tiredness. We can't wait. See you soon!

Winding Down

Hi everyone. We had it good in Poltava with internet in our apartment. I'm not use to this internet cafe thing. Just a quick update. We had a busy 1/2 day today. We started out at 7 am, and headed to get the girls medicals done. We were there about 7:45 but didn't get done until about 10. It wasn't hard, just lots of waiting. The girls had to have two shots each. They were great about it. Then it was off to the Embassy. We arrived by 11:00 and were done by 11:30. They thanked me for being so well prepared. I had spent a long time filling out all the forms ahead of time. Now we go back tomorrow at 2:00 for our interview, which is just a formality I think, and to pick up the girls visa's. I thought I would have the flight info by now, but haven't gotten it yet. Jesse talked to our travel agent this morning and he is working on it and will send it soon. I will post the info for everyone.

Hi, it's Jesse, I have recieved their flight information, and they will be coming home on Wed. the 3rd at 6:34PM on United Flight 6347.
