We Made it....

Hello Everyone, we are writing this post from the lobby of our Hotel in St. Petersburg, Russia and frankly we are FREEZING....... We arrived about 5pm Russian time on Monday 2/23(about 9am Monday morning your time). We had no difficulties with travel and the flights were not bad at all. (no meds required). We met our translator and driver at the airport. They seem really nice and were helpful getting us checked into the hotel as well. We are to meet them at 9:30 am tomorrow and have a full day planned. We need to go to the Ministry of Education in the morning and then off to both orphanages. One is about 1 hour from St. Petersburg and the other is 1.5 hours away. Unfortunately, in oposite directions it seems. Jeff says he will never complain about Jodi's van again after riding in the one here. The Midas muffler shop would do well here.

Well we are exhausted and ready for bed. We just wanted to let everyone know we are safe and sound. Thanks girls for the kind messages. We love you all...

Will update tomorrow again as we have the wirless figured out now. J&J
