Saturday, April 4 - Alina comes home!

I will edit this blog later, but here's a quick update.

After confirming a flight for Sunday Anne called back and said that Eldon at Golden Rule Travel had found me a 5:35am flight on Saturday. This is all happening at about 7pm Friday. So, I called Irina to call Anatoly to find me a driver for 3:30am to the airport. That done, I put Alina to bed and then packed. A fairly sleepless night because of worries that I would oversleep and I got up at 3:00am. To the airport, to Frankfurt, to Denver, and then to Chicago. Saw my beautiful bride and let her hold her daughter. Three hours in a car and I was in my house, and so was Alina. About 30 hours of travelling. Well worth it.
