Got our travel dates for the first trip! 5-16-10

We are expected to be in the city of Ryazan (3 hours south of Moscow) by June 1st. On June 2nd we have to go to the Department of Ministry of Education to meet with officials and to "accept" Anya. That afternoon we travel 2.5 hours to her orphanage (not on highways even) and spend three hours with her. Then the 2.5 hour trip back. We will make this trip for three days to visit her. Then it's back to the airport to fly home on June 5th. Our anniversary is June 4th!!! Dave was thrilled that he doesn't need to come up with anything more special than a trip to Russia for our day! We wait for a court date, 2-5 weeks after this trip (typically), and then head back to Russia to officially adopt her.
