Well, we made it. As Lori eluded to earlier some flight delays occurred for both of us for the first legs of our perspective journeys. Mine was about and hour and half. Lori’s delay would make her miss the Atlanta to Amsterdam flight. As the Good Lord is in this, there happened to be an earlier flight that was not full. Ticket counter lady said that she could put her on that flight if she wanted. She did and it all worked out well. No more additional delays for the entire day. Whooohoooo!
Transfers at the international airports are interesting. At the Amsterdam airport, you have to wait line with you passport before you can go from the intercontinental gates to the continental gates. The nice woman with Border Control/Customer, asked a couple of questions.
BC – “What will be your final destination?”
Me – “Warsaw, Poland”
BC – “How look will you be staying?”
Me – “45 days.”
BC – “What will be the purpose of your visit?”
Me – “Adopting a little girl.”
Her expression changed in a instant. One moment, rigid by the books and the next moment a tender smile with congratulations.
I arrived in Poland at about 12:30 and thanks to our lawyer, a gentlemen met me at the airport to take me to the apartment. Once there, I put away a few things. Waited some more and then we went back to the airport to wait for Lori. She got in about 4:20.
A this point we are both tired. However, 7 hours ahead of our normal time is messing with our heads. Great difficulty getting the sleep. It all finally caught up with us. We slept to noon the next day. Regardless of our attempt to catch up with sleep, anticipation is building of finally seeing her.
Took a quick pic outside our apartment. Our pastor and my mom will appreciate the fact that the Christmas trees are still up throughout the country.
