We arrived safe and sound in Rostov at about 5pm last night. However, it would not be an Orr adoption trip without airplane drama.

We were delayed leaving Louisville because if thunderstorms in Chicago. Because of our late departure we missed our connecting flight to Frankfurt Germany. They rerouted us onto a different flight and the only seats available were first class. After she printed our tickets and we had sat down I leaned over to Kelly and said, "You know what is funny? When we were checking in at the United counter I had asked God to please give us REALLY good seats like an aisle seat and let us sit together." Nothing like a REALLY good seat in first class!

Because it was first class we got to hang out in Chicago at the first class lounge and then board directly on the plane without waiting in line. We were also served a fabulous dinner that included crab cakes, Fillet Mignon and hot fudge sundaes for dessert. It was a great anniversary dinner. First class is certainly the way to travel Trans-Atlantic. Our seats went completely flat so we were able to get a good nights sleep.

When we arrived in Rostov our luggage did not make it. Because there are so few flights into Rostov from Frankfort we are having our luggage rerouted to Moscow and it should be there when we arrive this afternoon. Larissa and Vladamir are taking us shopping to buy clothes, food and toys for the boys. Yes, all the lovely things we needed for the boys are in our checked luggage. We will just have some extra baby souvenirs from Russia.

We will be picked up today at about 10:30am and we have to finish the passports for the boys, take them to the airport to purchase tickets, go shopping and then pick up the boys in time to make our 4pm flight. We should have Internet in Moscow so I will post more when we arrive.
