Here we go!

We received our invitation to Ukraine, with our first appointment on August 14th.  So we are scurrying to get ready.  Plane tickets were bought today, we have started rounding up suitcases, and finalizing our lists of "must have" items.  The next week and a half will go by quickly, I'm sure.  We will fly from Atlanta to Frankfurt, Germany to Kiev.

Waiting to Start

Our dossier has been turned in to the Ukrainian government.  All that remains is for them to invite us to their country, and some last minute scurrying to get ready to go.  We are standing at the starting line, waiting for the gun to go off.
