July 9th, Back to the good old USA!

Our driver Dimitri showed up at 1:00 pm on Sunday the 9th to take us to the airport for our flight out of Moscow into Amsterdam where we would be staying the night to catch our flight back to Detroit on Monday the 10th. Wow, it sure was hard keeping all of these dates straight with the time changes and all of our layovers.

We stood in line to check into our flight and then through customs for about 2 hours. I was getting nervous that we would miss our flight. Customs at the SVO airport in Moscow is a joke, it's like the lines at Cedar Pointe, never ending. They had hundreds of people leaving to different parts of the world and about 7 people checking passports. There is a company that offers a VIP service kind of like a line-hopper at Disney, they cut you through to the front of the line. When we bring Logan home we may use this service, it is kind of expensive but I am sure it will be worth it. We did get through and had about 20 minutes to board and leave Moscow.

We didn't do much besides get a bite to eat in Amsterdam, I was just exhausted so I wanted to get some sleep. We left Moscow right on time just like all of our flights and we landed in Detroit about 10 minutes early. Thanks Tania for picking us up :)!
I have to give a shout out to Northwest and KLM, we got all of our luggage and all flights left and landed on time or a little early, WAY TO GO!

Please say a prayer that we get our court date to officially adopt Logan and bring him home soon, please pray for all of the children and families that are waiting also. I will keep updating as we find anything out. We think we should be going back by the end of August but as I have learned the hard way, this is International Adoption and anything goes.
