We leave today
This is it. The 30-day waiting period has come and gone and my cousin and I will board a flight this evening to London, then Kiev. We'll arrive in Kiev at 5 pm local time Thursday, that's 10 am eastern US time.
The things that need to be done in Kiev: Natasha will pick up the court decree (hopefully today) and then we need a Ukraine visa and passport and a U.S. passport for Tara (rhymes with Sarah.) We HOPE to pick up Tara on Friday. We hope to get everything done swiftly; we plan to return on Wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
It will be interesting to see what type of apartment we will have. I requested one in downtown Kiev, with two beds, unlike the flat John and I stayed in for 5 weeks. (We are close cousins, but not that close. Hah)
If we find an Internet cafe in London, I will be in touch. Otherwise, I'll write when we arrive in Kiev. Here we go!

Posted by: Macon at April 6, 2005 08:16 PMBon voyage!! Wanted to stop by to see you off today, but just as I was heading over, your car drove by...probably on your way to pick up some band-aids or more U.S. goodies. Have a safe flight. So glad I get to resume my blog fixation! We've got My Little Ponies for Tara and a Barbie karaoke machine. Queen of Martyrs is having a moms-to-moms sale April 12-let's go pink shopping!
