We arrived safely in Almaty around 5:00 this morning. After the mayhem at the baggage claim, we found Zhaniya and she took us back to our apartment. It actually feels like home, well ok let's not go that far...but it does feel comfortable and familiar. Two great things for us being so far away from our true home : )
Our lay over in Amsterdam was great. Unfortunately we did not go into the city. We slept the whole time at the hotel. It made the travel much more bearable and in the end I was much more bearable in Almaty (I'm sure Jon was thankful to not have a crying wife the first few hours like last time..HAHA) : )
We of course can't seem to go anywhere or do anything and not hit bad luck, right? So we get in the car with Zhaniya who is all smiles and happy and she says "well your not going to court on Monday or Tuesday". We may go on Thursday or Friday. I explained to her that we strategically planned our tickets to be PERFECT, and of course now that is all out the window. I told her that she needs to MAKE Friday work; Jon is leaving first thing on Monday. UGH........
We shall see, no sense in getting all worked up (I already did that)...We might end up staying a few days later (possibly the 10th or 11th) if court really doesn't happen until Friday. Let's home Jon can go home as planned.....someone needs to pay the mortgage : )
We spent our first day resting and doing some shopping. We should be good on the food end for a while, and it was nice to walk around to the familiar places (i.e to the mall for a nursat card so I can be on line at the apartment for insane amounts of time, etc.HAHA)
Ok so now for some GOOD news...we get to see Lucy tomorrow at 3:00....WOO HOO...we can't wait!!....We will post an update and pictures as soon as we get back and over to the Internet cafe.
We are excited to be on this last leg of a very long journey, but one that we wouldn't pass up for anything. As many of you have told us, we will just have a very long story to tell Lucy about her home coming when she is older.
Hugs and kisses : )
