Shuttle Re-Entry
Gina and Hayden are beginning their adventure home. Much like the Space Shuttle re-entering earth's atmoshphere, Gina and Hayden will be out of contact for a while.
About now, Gina and Hayden are being picked up and taken to the airport. Tamara our faciliator was able to get all the paper work lined up. We even have our friends Chandler and Alison taking over a power of attorney to Almaty for me to Gina, just in case.
Gina is prepared to "work the system" in case the facilitator in Almaty flakes on them. She set up the appointment for Hayden's medical check up, and is ready to charge over to the embassy. The biggest problem is that all the paperwork and the medical forms need to be in the embassy's hand by noon the day before the visa processing appointment. The embassy is closed on July 4. So...Gina needs to get the medical done either July 4 or early on July 5 to get it to the embassy. Then...the final processing isn't schedule to July 6 at 4:00 pm. The flight out is on July 7 at 7:15 am....so if there are any mix ups....she's stuck for a while.
Fortunatly, she is teamed with her new buddy Annie, and they will be takin' on the town.
Deep breathing and lots of prayer are in order.

Godspeed to all of you. What are the plans to meet up at your folks, Bob? Any news on when the KOVR piece will air so we can tape it? All of our prayers are with all four of you.
Love, Acsa, Phil, Ben and AJ
