Day 51 - Well, bad news, sort of

If you read yesterday's blog, we let everyone know that if things went well today, there will not be a new post today. Obviously, things did not go well again. We are still waiting. But, we did get some good news, we were informed we will be recieving a red passport for Sophia. This will occur tomorrow afternoon. The passport director is actually going with us to Uzgorod to ensure all goes well. I told him that if we have the passport in hand by 4:00pm, we can get back to Svaliava, get Sophia and make it to our train to Kiev by 6:30pm.
We have already purchased our train tickets and the Canadian Embassy in Kiev has been made aware that we will be arriving at around 10:00am and they must complete the visa within one hour. Luckily, the embassy is closed to visitors on Fridays, so we will have no interuptions while there. From there, we head straight to the airport.
Thursday night and all day Friday are now going to be very painful, we do not expect to sleep much, eat much and have a very cranky child with us, but at least we are on our way home and can't be happier about that.

Your nerves must be frazzled to the roots. All you want is to be out of there and on that plane. Best of luck in the next few hours and give Sophia a little brandy on the plane!
