We are on US soil!!!

posted Sunday, 31 July 2005
Just a quick note to say we made it through our last hoop. The girls are now citizens of this fair country. (and citizens of theirs as well) All the very important sealed papers were studied and stamped. whew!

As we travelled today Jeff changed their watches so they could get the effect of the time situation. I think they really thought we were leaving Kiev at 4:20 p.m. and getting to NY City at 9:20. p.m. We did, but ... well, it's not exactly normal time. I sat with Lena and Jeff with Alla on a VERY FULL plane. TVs helped us survive.

I know I could stay up all night and write since there is hotel internet, but I'm just not gonna do it. It's about 6:30 Ukraine time, so I'm gonna get some sleep. Our flight is at 8:something tomorrow.

I don't think it will even be hard to get Alla and Lena back on a plane, they are soo excited to get to Omaha. (whatever that is!!!)

See you very soon.
