Sveta found out from the director today that Julianna's exit visa will not be done until Tuesday, August 17 at 5:00pm - nothing like pushing us up against a proverbial wall!
So, I sent an e-mail to the embassy to request an emergency exit visa for Julianna of Wednesday, August 18...since mine runs out that very day.
I've checked into some other flights...and there are flights that leave at 5:35pm and 9:30pm on August 18. Of course they are with different airlines and at a different airport...but at least I could get out of the country without having to pay another penalty and go through the hassle of an exit visa for myself. So...once my travel agent is awake, I will be calling him to see what can be done. Now, if the US embassy can issue a visa in less than an hour...maybe I won't have to change my flight.
August 17 & August 18 will be very long days!
Now...the good news about Julianna. The doctor is requesting a meeting with me at 11:00am tomorrow to explain all the complications that can happen as a result of chicken pox. Hmm...! Julianna broke out with a fever and a rash on August 5, so I am not quite sure what those complications are. And yes, I will be contacting my doctor before I speak with "th dRussian doctor" so I am well versed in what I need to know.
Bottom line - we can free Julianna tomorrow. Dom is excited b/c he wants to skype his people at Band Camp so they can see her!
Oh...and one last thing...Dom wants everyone to know that it is cold here today...only 78 and a little rain this morning.
