12/30/07 - Flying in an Airplane

Well here we are in our flat in Kiev all packed up with a few hours to kill. Hmmmmm, sound familiar to anyone?

Yesterday we slept in and then did a whirlwind shopping spree for everyone back home. Fun times were had over on Andrew's Descent as we found many uniquely Ukrainian gifts for family and friends back home who have supported us while we do this.

We have a long layover in Amsterdam tonight and have gotten a room in the Mercure Hotel inside the airport....Anyone know if we have to clear customs before we check in? We'd really like to avoid that as it would be a supreme pain....anyway we get on our flight tomorrow afternoon and should be home in time to celebrate the New Year with our family.

It is a shame that we are missing New Years in Kiev.....the whole downtown is all dressed up and there are people everywhere....very exciting and beautiful. Anton can send us pictures and we'll enjoy it vicariously through the wonders of digital photos and computers.

Talk to everyone later,

Mike and Donnna

Have a safe flight home. I know your boys will be excited to have you home.

We will likely take you up on your offer and give you a call a bit later in the week with some questions. Thanks!
