Heading for Siberia

We just finalized our tickets to travel to Khabarovsk next Wed!!

Here's the route...

Nov 26th (midnight) leave Alaska (3.5 hours in air)
Nov 27th Arrive and Leave Seattle (1 hour layover) (2 hours in air)
Nov 27th Arrive and Leave LA (2.5 hour layover, 13.5 hours in air)
Nov 28th Arrive in Seoul Korea (17.5 hour layover, 3 hours in air)
Nov 29th Arrive in Khabarovsk Russia

We'll spend 3 full days in Russia before heading back the reverse of this route. Our return trip will all take place on a very long Dec 3rd, as we live the day twice (once on each side of the International Dateline).

We had a medical scare with this little gal this week, but after talking to several specialists, we are hopeful that all will be okay once we get her to the USA.

I should note that this is just our first trip, as we get to meet her, do Our own Physicals in Russia (we've already done 2 in the US!) and file for court to officially adopt. Then the judge will appoint a court date within 90 days and we will head back for court and to bring her home.

Shelly, this is DJ (Julie)from the AIA chat. I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip to Russia. Thanks for sharing your blog. It is fun to hear about others' adoption adventures.
