Here We Go Again!!!!

Thursday, Apr 16th – 4:30pm
Here we go again! We are at the airport waiting to fly to Frankfurt for trip #3. We will apply for Maddox’s passport tomorrow when we get to St Petersburg and then wait for 4 days for it to be ready. We are hoping to see Maddox every day while we wait. Right now we will pick him up on Wed morning…a change from what we were told before. We are just going with the flow.

17 Apr – Frankfurt Airport
Britt and I flew separately this trip. Britt was in NY for training all week, so he flew straight from there. He arrived in Frankfurt early enough to make the first flight to St Petersburg. I did not. So, I have a 5 hour layover in Frankfurt while he got to be in St Petersburg registering for Maddox’s passport. I thought that since I had such a long layover I would take some things to wash up while I was here. I was in the bathroom and had washed my face, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, etc. When I was finished putting everything back in my carry-on I stood up and SMACK, hit my head on a tooth cleaner dispenser. OUCH! I saw stars. Luckily I didn’t pass out, but over an hour later my head still hurts. Wouldn’t that have been great…travelling by myself in the Frankfurt, Germany airport and I knock myself out. Just thought I would share my funny (knuckle-headed) story.

As for the next 4 days, I have no idea what we have to do or what we get to do or if we’ll get to see Maddox. All I know is that as long as Britt made it to St Petersburg on time, they should have taken him to register for Maddox’s passport. It will be ready for us to pick it up on Wed and then we are supposed to fly to Moscow to complete his visa paperwork and get his visa. So, tune in again to find out what happens…we’ll be just as surprised as you.
