Part 8 the Adventure

The next 24 hours! AAARRRRRGGGHHHH!

Well we get on a train for Zaporishia in an hour. It is an eleven hour train ride and from what I hear it is difficult to sleep and not the cleanest mode of transportation.
Then once we arrive in Zap we have to go and pick up the inspector and take all of us Victor, Jackie, Heidi, The Inspector and I. We then need to drive to Berdyask a 4 hour trip.
We have to take the inspector to Berdyask in order to meet with Illiah, Heidi and I. See Illiah's orphanage is in Zap but he is currently at summer camp in Berdyask for two months so in ordeer to start the paperwork for the courts we have to meet with him and the Inspector so that the inspector can see us interact with the child.

Then we have to drive back to Zap 4 more hours so we can file paperwork.

So... if you have been adding with me thats 19 hours of traveling in the next 24!

Heidi is Super Prego thats my new nick name for her.

After the next 24 hours I am not sure but what a crazy ride so far!

  1. Sounds like you are keeping up with all the hustle and bustle pretty well so far. Hope the train was enjoyable and that everyone made it through OK. Can't wait to hear about the reunion with Illiah. I'm sure it will be great. Tell Heidi to close her eyes while in any mode of transportation there. Watch where you walk because they drive on the sidewalks too.
    Blessings to you all!
