It's Wed and the suitcases are packed!!

We are excited! The suitcases are all packed. All of our 5 suitcases are under 50 lbs except 1. As hard as we tried, even sucking the air out of the clothes - evidently air does not weigh much, we still have one suitcase that weighs 70 lbs. Oh well, bite the bullet and pay the fee!! Most of the weight is in the 10 pairs of snow boots and lots of extras that we are bringing. However on the trip back we should be fine with several suitcases consolidated and 2 more kids!! We will take the kids anytime.

We leave at 6 AM flying to Chicago, then a 6 hour layover, and on to Frankfurt, and then Kiev!! We arrive in Kiev on Friday afternoon, Kiev time, 5 AM Friday Alabama time. Fortunately we have the weekend to see Kiev and rest up before our appointment on Monday 12/7 at noon.

Many of you received an erroneous email with wrong times and dates. This blog is correct. I just do not know who mail that other email - me:( !!!

Thanks to everyone who have helped us with support, encouragement and prayers. Keep it up! We will need it all!

In Him Alone,

Leslie
