I have taken the plunge! I purchased my airline tickets. This time I will fly out of New York City connect in Chicago then to Moscow. I will be doing the reverse on the return flight. Gerard called this morning and was a bit nervous that I had not already booked the tickets. When I told him that I was booking a flight that was not non-stop he was a bit upset but then I explained that I will be saving about 400 dollars, yes the flight is a bit longer but not by that much only 4 hours. There is that word only again.
He told me ONLY a direct flight when I bring her home. She needs to be home and able to walk around not on a plane flying here there and everywhere to save a couple of hundred dollars. I was planning on booking the direct flight for the 3rd trip but we will let him believe that this was his idea!
Details:
I leave LGA (New York City) on August 24 to ORD (Chicago) then depart Chicago later that day for Moscow to arrive in Moscow on July 25. I will fly to the region on the 27th or the 28th. Then it is back to Moscow for 1 night and homeward bound on August 1st.
Trip 3 details have not revealed themselves to me as of yet so I am still waiting to make the flight plans.
I looked into an apartment and think I have that squared away for this trip too. Two major things off my list!!!

She'll probably sleep a lot on the return flight. . .Aidan slept 8 of the 11 hours from Moscow to Atlanta and then the remaining 1 1/2 from Atlanta to Dulles! Awesome! I am keeping you in my hourly prayers as you make your final preparations to go. God Bless!
I am so excited! This trip is going to happen in no time. Will you be able to blog while you are there. Yeah!

So I see your doing some time travel too! lol! I'm so excited for you!
I'm so glad to see that things are heading in the right direction. I am so excited for you. A little curious that you are heading West before going East but if it works!
Many people do get a straight flight but we went with Lufthansa and had a quick layover in Frankfurt. About an hour. It was enough for Colby to get up and walk around and for us to expend a little cramped energy. I'm glad we had it. Just my two cents worth.

Glad the tickets are bought!!
The flight from Chicago isn't bad at all, we all did fine.
I am going to possibly be in your neck of the woods (NJ) mid August!!
Nice! Booking that flight must feel real good. :)
I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!! Your court must be scheduled right about the time we'll be wrapping up trip#1 :-) I just truly feel its going to go great for us both! Hugs!!
Yeah --- the booking of tickets is another step in bringing you closer to your little one!
I'm in the camp to vote for a direct flight home when you have your little one. We flew 14 hours direct (Moscow - LAX) and since she slept over 6 hours, I'm so glad we didn't have to awaken her, deplane, wait, and then replane for it all to start all over again.
Congrats -- it will be a fast week and 1/2!!

Ok wish I could say T slept on the plane. She was in stimulus overload! Each kid is different LOL...
ORD is not a bad place to have to land with the kidlet or for you. Customs moves really quick.
Tick tock the time is coming!!
Daniel didn't sleep hardly a wink and then we chased him around for a 6 hour layover on the way home. If you can get the direct flight on the 3rd trip def. do it!
So glad things are moving in the right direction!
I agree with Rachel...if a direct flight is an option, take it! Liam didn't sleep either on the first leg of the trip from Moscow to Atlanta.
just got caught up on your blog. :)) glad your tix are bought!
