After numerous phone calls, we finally got in touch with Channing in Kazakhstan. Apparently the hotel staff helps to locate their guests by either hanging up on the caller in mid-broken-Russian sentence, or by just leaving the phone on the counter for 15 international-calling-plan minutes.
She and Lana endured the long car ride from Bishkek to Almaty. So far, it seems, no one we've met has enjoyed that part of the trip. Today they have a lot of paperwork to do. They will go see the Doctor and also go to the American Embassy. The last big day of things to get accomplished before they pack up to head home.
This phone call brought us some sweet sounds from Lana. We could hear her saying, "Mama, Mama, Mama" in the background. We could also hear Channing smiling.

Ah yes...I remember trying to get ahold of Tim in Kaz...what a pain! It took several tries. Only a few more days now. The prettiest snowflake in the world will be home soon!
Well at least they are skype minutes...
The most important thing is that they are safe and getting the dreaded paperwork done.
A few more days and long flights and our two ladies will be back to Virginia soon.
Thanks for posting the information I know a lot of people are interested to hear how it is all going.
