NAC HAS A FIRE....but no one hurt!

'When it rains it pours' as the saying goes and in this case it was with fire. Just updated by one of our Ukraine observers that a fire broke out in the NAC director's office and at first there was concern as to if the many stacks of dossiers may have suffered fire or water damage...but THANKS to our quick reply back from our translator in Ukraine; Inna reports that it wasn't such a 'big' fire and the office staff at the NAC is back on a regular work schedule. Thank God there were no injuries or destruction of property and/or records.

Greg and I finally located the Lonely Planet's UKRAINE book which is one of the 'must-have' books for travel. Now all we have to do is try to master the challenge of the Ukrainian and Russian langauages so we can at least find our way to the necessary places we have to visit. WOW, we are getting more and more eager to venture into another new chapter of our life and that is to bring the children home.
So nice to be able to email so many others who have preceeded us on this journey and hope we can share some of the info we bring back with future parents taking the same trip. Snow is starting to make its way down the mts but the sun makes everything glisten during the day. More later.
