Two....

With just hours now the anticipation is growing. Karen got back from Costa Rica and was trying to get her head around all of the crazy things that went down last week with visas. She going to try to make some last minute changes to her plans so that she is certain to arrive in Monrovia on a Wednesday night so that the visa interview is one of the first things that gets done. This should provide for a more relaxing trip as the visa will be approved on Thursday and picked on Friday allowing the remainder of the trip to be enjoyable fun!

I got lucky and that is exactly how my trip is laid out. So, here is the blow by blow: We leave Tuesday from Tulsa at noon - arrive Brussels Wednesday morning and then fly to Monrovia and land at 5:35pm. There is ~ one hour drive to the orphanage from the airport. So, Junior and all of these other children will be in my arms Wednesday night. Thursday we have an appointment to take Junior to the Embassy for the visa exit interview. Providing everything is in order we can pick his visa up on Friday and this is where breathing easy begins. Then the rest of the time is play time. We don't depart until the following Wednesday at 6:55pm. We'll have time for the beach, shopping and lots of play time with all of the kids and hopefully successful uploading of pictures and stories on here to keep all of you tuned in!
