Getting set to depart...

Hi All,

We begin our Ukrainian journey this Friday as we depart JFK around 7PM. Our flight takes us to Heathrow where we change planes and head to Kiev. We land in Kiev around 4PM local time on Saturday (GMT +2 --- i.e. 7 hours ahead of Eastern Time).

We should get settled into a Kiev apartment on Saturday and keep it through our appointment date of May 22nd. This is all we know for now - obviously our trip kicks into high gear after our appointment date.

We will try and update this site regularly so everyone can follow our progress. Look for a follow-up post this coming Sunday. We know there is an internet cafe across from our apartment in Kiev but we don't know if we'll have access once we head to the region where the orphanage resides.
