Travel: JFK on Father's Day was very busy to say the least. Several planes leaving the country from the day before were delayed or canceled and lines became long. It was clear we were not in Bellwood anymore! Overall our travel was without a hitch. The plane ride was long as predicted and the food was interesting; yes interesting would be best. Arrival in Kiev a little ahead of schedule 5:00 a.m EST and 12:00 here in Ukraine. Our facilitator picked us up at the airport and off to the apartment we went. The apartment is very nice and extremely clean. We like it. I am trying to talk Jen into letting me buy the furniture to update our home for Lincoln (Sasha). I don't think I have her yet but the OVER SIZED RED lampshade is helping!
We went to dinner with the facilitator and then a small walk around Kiev. One stop a the store for some supplies and money exchange. Jenn tried to steal a jug of bottled water. The store has many parts and I would guess that each is owned by a different proprietor. They do not give you bags so we were carrying our purchases and went through another part of the store. The owner began to yell at Jenn to stop and pay for her water. I left him go until he got her attention and then told him we bought it in the other store and showed the receipt. Returning to the apartment to regroup and rest was well needed at this point. I fell asleep in the couch and I think Jen fell asleep while on Skype with the kids and her mom and sister.
It has been a blessing to travel with Jen and prepare for a Great addition to our family. I know the kids and our extended family are excited and looking forward to this great opportunity. Day One Done!
