Yesterday was Robin's birthday. What a wonderful gift - a new son! We left Riga at about 1:30PM - we were actually almost 30 minutes early leaving! Never in America!
We arrived in Warsaw early and had an interesting introduction to Poland. After a long taxi ride, we arrived at the Sheraton Hotel only to be told that we had a room for two - two twin beds! We know that the travel agent was very specific about what we needed. Well they offered us two rooms and we would have been paying twice the price. So - we got back in another taxi and went to the Marriott. We got one room with a king bed and a cot. Aaron slept on the floor for the night. We moved to a different room today with two double beds. Everyone gets a comfy bed tonight.
We got up early for our appointment with the USEmbassy. We arrived about 30 minutes early. There was a line outside already but we were told we could go to the front of the line. They tried not to let us go in until 9AM but we finally said the magic word "Adoption", then the gates parted and we got our move to the head of the class pass. (Most of the people there were non-USA citizens tring to get visas to the US)
We went through our appointment with no problems. We had an interview with a very nice young lady who promised to get the paperwork done as soon as possible. However, there was a common computer glitch that someone in Washington DC had to fix and they don't get to work until noon Poland time. So, Ken and Deniss are walking back to the Embassy now for a 3PM appointment to see if they give him back his passport with the immigration visa attached. We sure hope we get it today because then we can change our tickets to get home sooner. More later.....
