We now have travel dates!

I was thinking that we might get travel dates at some point this week, but I certainly didn't expect to get an email this morning. We got an email from our agency contact that we need to set up plans to arrive in the region Wed morning March 4 and then we will leave the region Saturday morning March 7.

Wow, less than 2 weeks and we will be in Russia. Krasnoyarsk is 12 hours ahead, so exactly 12 weeks from now it will be 9:00 am Wed. morning and we will soon be at the orphanage. I just checked the weather for Krasnoyarsk and it is currently about -22 F with a windchill of -36 F at 9:00 am, yikes. They do seem to be having a warming trend so they might hit positive temps tonight. Heather and I will be buying some things from L.L. Bean including very warm coats.

I don't know what there will be for internet access while there. We may not be able to update the blog or post pics, but with it being a pretty short trip it won't be that long until we can get back and update.

Now to finish up our paperwork, get the visa process started and be ready to fly out on Monday. Wow.
