Well, we made it to Kyiv. We made it to Philly airport in record time for a Friday afternoon, checked in and breezed through international security. We were able to get two seats in the exit row, which on our plane was like the bulkhead. This made Andrew very happy!
The flights were good. Have to admit we were not impressed with Frankfurt Airport. Had to go through security twice there and then board on the tarmac in the pouring rain.....
Our VIP processing at the airport was super speedy, but we were getting worried because our luggage was the last to come out. The VIP guy kept saying "quickly, quickly" "keep close". We made it throught customs and immigration and met Luba (Elena's sister) at the airport. She had a driver friend who brought us into Kyiv. We got our SIM card for the phone and exchanged some currency.
Our apartment is different. I will post pics after we come back from dinner. We have to run out and get some water and more prepaid minutes for the modem.
The leaves are just starting to change. I am excited to go exploring tomorrow and see more sights!
Will post more later!

So glad your travels have landed you safe and secure in Kiev. Rode past your home and I smiled inside knowing your yard will soon have little ones with mommy playing games and papa hanging a swing.

Good luck at your SDA appointment.

How exciting! Can't imagine all the things you are seeing, the most important being the children, of course. Hugs, Uncle Jay and Aunt Lisa
