On our way to Zhytomyr

We got our paper work that gives us permission to visit the kids at the orphanage, and then we made our way to Zhytomyr.  The trip went well.  We used the same gentleman who drove us around when we were here in January of 2010.  He has a big comfortable Mercedes van and he is a very safe driver.
We met a couple of from Atlanta that was here to adopt as well.  They were waiting for their forms at the same time.  They had a 4 hour trip to get to their region.  Zhytomyr is only about 1 hour and 45 minutes due west from Kiev.
We are staying in an apartment on a main street.  It belongs to a fellow name Alex.  He has been renting to foreigner for a while.  He says that his parents have a big apartment, so he stays with them when he rents his apartment.  The apartment is small but cute and the price is right.
Oksana will be handling our proceedings here in Zhytomyr.  She will arrive tomorrow morning and we should be making our way to the orphanage with her.  Finally after visiting with Alona for over 18 months by Skype and phone, we will be meeting her in person.  We are excited to about seeing the 3 siblings and staring a new and different relationship with them.
I will eventually put some photos on the blog, actually I thought I had but they did not show up, but every time I am blogging it is in the evening and I am too tired to mess with it.  But we will be taking a lot more photos now since our subjects will be much more interesting.
