United is on a roll with us so far this trip!
We got to the airport this morning at about 9:00 for our flight leaving at 12:20PM. We had to get here early because we still didn't have our luggage and because our Visa was expired by one day and we had to take care of that. We paid a small fee for a Visa extension of one day and the airline told us our luggage was en route to Moscow (a lot of good that does us) and they would transfer it to our flight home. We found our gate and the plane was late coming in...then we found out it is having problems with the de-icing system so after a 3 hour delay our flight was cancelled AND our Visas expire today. United put everyone up in a Motel tonight except us as we have expired Visas and will not be able to leave the airport so we get to spend the night at the "business center" for United. It is pretty nice and has Wi-Fi, food, drinks but only chairs so we are here all night probably with very little sleep again before starting the 24 hour trip home tomorrow....
We have also been booked on different flights. We leave at 7:05 AM and go to Frankfurt then to Chicago then home arriving about 10:00 PM tomorrow night.
It has been a long journey already and we haven't even really started.
Overall we will make it home and be fine and not complain too much - the trip has been a success no matter how painful the traveling is.
Talk to you all soon -
Greg and Stephanie

Yikes.. .I hope the night in the Airport was OK for you. Have a safe trip home!
Boy the stories you will have for Max's baby book. You will be home soon and will be able to get some sleep. Maybe your luggage will make it back before you do. Take care and save travels.
Love you
Aunt Pat
