On our way!

At long last, after battling foreign governments and even worse, Fed Ex, we are at last set to leave tomorrow! We had a little delay when the Kazakhstan government opted to stay closed for an extra 3 days celebrating one of their major holidays, Victory Day, which was actually only last Friday. It is not unusual over there to decide at the last minute to be closed which adds a little drama to timetables.



Eric did battle Thursday and Friday ensuring that our Visas were processed at the New York Consulate and Fed Ex'd back to us today so that we can fly away tomorrow! Our itinerary includes flying to Frankfurt, Germany and onto Astana, Kazakhstan. They are 10 hours ahead of us, so we are looking forward to a few days of some serious jet lag. Please pray for us as we continue this journey. The next entry should be from Kazakhstan!
