Final Q&A
Thanks to all of you who had weird Ambien stories too. I feel less dumb. I was confirmed that I did not step in any cat vomit, but the jury is still out on the wall issue.
So not so much a Q&A, but we did have lots of requests for our itinerary. Once CS prys me out of from under the bed our trip will look as follows.
Monday, August 28 - Depart Seattle 1:40 pm
Tuesday, August 29 - Arrive Seoul, South Korea 5:00 pm
5221 miles flown this segment - 5221 miles total
Check into airport hotel and feast on the boycotted chicken from a national fried chicken parts retailer (this is the only place in the world I am allowed to have the banned chicken)
Wednesday, August 30 - Depart Seoul 10:10 am
Wednesday, August 30 - Arrive Khabarovsk, Russia 3:10 pm (yea! the same day!)
886 miles flown this segment - 6107 miles total
Thursday & Friday - complete medical exams
Monday, September 4th - COURT DATE (the date where you finally learn his name)
Tuesday, September 5th - Finally become parents!!! (we are assuming that we will get to pick Pickle up the day after court, if not maybe the 6th)
Toodle around in Khabarovsk for 13 days. Exactly how many times can we visit the Military museum?
Monday, September 18 - Depart Khabarovsk 6:00 pm
Monday, September 18 - Arrive Moscow 7:15 pm (8 long hours later)
3825 miles flown this segment - 9932 miles total
Tuesday, September 19 - Pickle's medical exam, Embassy visit, Register Pickle with the Russian government, attempt to purchase a Soviet hockey jersey and have a National Lampoon's moment with Kathou & Paypay at St. Basil's.
Wednesday, September 20 - Depart Moscow 7:15 am (pick up my own gummi bears)
Wednesday, September 20 - Arrive Zurich, Switzerland 8:45 am
1368 miles flown this segment - 11300 miles total
Wednesday, September 20 - Depart Zurich 12:40 pm (snap a photo of our newest citizen!)
Wednesday, September 20 - Arrive Chicago, USA 3:15 pm (still wednesday)
4443 miles flown this segment - 15743 miles total
Wednesday, September 20 - Depart Chicago 5:20 pm
Wednesday, September 20 - Arrive Seattle, WA 7:42 pm
1721 miles flown this segment - 17464 miles total
Did anyone else notice how all of those last flights were all on a Wednesday? In fact... the SAME Wednesday!

"Pray to God, but continue to row toward shore." -Russian Proverb
It's going to be long and tiring, but in less than a month you'll be home with your boy. Thank goodness.
BUT worth it and i can't wait for court day!!!
Thanks so much for the itinerary!!
Can't wait for Labor Day when we learn the real name of Pickle!
Have a wonderful adventure and keep us posted along the way!
Can wait to see Pickle.
By the way,I saw you are a hockey fan, our son, who was adopted and now only 3 1/2 is obsessed with Ice Hockey!
again, have a safe trip!

Take care,

Come see my updated, new and improved blog.
Now come out from under the bed; away from the corner. Pack the vodka and the chocolate for later and go see your son.
Praying for safe flights.
Looking forward to the new parents updates.
I can't wait to hear about that little boy what his name???!!!
Be safe
