Travel Details

We've been working on getting our visas in order and our plane reservations booked. Needless to say, its been a busy day completing paperwork. Ken has been dealing with the reservations, and I am working on getting the one document that needed to be updated fixed.
Many people have been asking us if we are saying in Russia for the whole month of July, so I thought I'd break down our situation. Our court date is July 14th, a Monday, but he have a physical scheduled on the Friday before which is why we need to leave so early. After the court date, there is a mandatory 10 business day waiting period. We could stay in Russia, and we probably would if it were cheaper, and if we were allowed to visit Angelina...but neither situation is plausible. So, we have opted to come home and wait out our time here, where people speak English, and in the comfort of our own home.

After the 10 business day waiting period, we will fly back to Russia to pick up Angelina. We need to spend a week there, 3 days in Bryansk, 2 days in Moscow, to complete American embassy paperwork and such. Then, we will fly home with our daughter, and she will be an American citizen once we land in Boston!

So our travel schedule looks like this:
Trip 2
Leave Wednesday, July 9th.
Return Tuesday, July 15th.
Trip 3
Leave Saturday, July 26th.
Return Saturday, August 2nd.
