We Arrived!!!

It's 3:15 PM here, and we are checked into our hotel, and settling in. Our "included in the price dinner" starts at 6:00, but I can't hold off, so I'm munching on some crackers! I don't know what's worse the smell of airplane food, or the taste, lol! I can't help it- I'm picky! I have to say, I think I did very well on this flight over compared to my other recent flights. Maybe it's because I am not as nervous, but more excited to see our boy tomorrow!!! Our travel was VERY smooth- everything on time, and not too long of lines on either end in customs/security.

We were SO happy to see a familiar face when we got through customs and baggage- it was our driver Slava! We embraced, and then QUICKLY walked to the car...he walks so fast, I literally feel like my legs are moving faster than they can go...add that to the slippery icy sidewalks, and that made for a funny walk to the car! I got a cramp in my one foot too b/c my feet went from being super warm in my boots to freezing cold outside...but no worries, it went away once we got in the car and it warmed up. :)

Traffic in Moscow is the same! We are staying at a different hotel this time...further away from Red Square, but from what we here, it's closer to the orphange...and cheaper too!!! I have taken a few pictures from our window- we are overlooking a different area in the city, but if you look closely, you will see that we will have easy access to a McDonalds and Starbucks if we need either! :)

We are expecting a call tonight here in our room from Olga. She will be letting us know what our week's itinerary is....and of course, I will keep you posted!

I can't wait to post tomorrow after our visits with Landon!!! We are SO excited to see him! Thank you all for your prayers- we truly feel them!
Love,
Liz and Greg
