Trip Agenda

We get a lot of questions about this, so here's a quick summary of our first trip. This is just a rough outline. I promise much more will be happening than this!

Friday: Depart Huntsville to Atlanta. Depart Atlanta to Moscow.

Saturday: Arrive in Moscow.

Sunday: Free day. Hire a driver and sight-see.

Monday: Meeting at the Ministry of Education. Receive referral in the morning. Travel to orphanage to meet the child in the afternoon.

Tuesday: Depending on the orphanage location, either go to orphanage to get the child or the orphanage will bring the child into the city for a medical appointment for their visas.

Tuesday Night: Tickets to the Bolshoi Theater.

Wednesday: Travel to the orphanage to visit the child and complete paperwork with intent to adopt.

Thursday: File paperwork.

Friday: Free day. Excursion to RSC Energia museum.

Saturday: Flight back to Atlanta & Huntsville.

The flight from Atlanta to Moscow is 5380 miles (8658 km). Expected flight duration is 10.5 hours. Another factoid...Jason RARELY sleeps on planes.
