We Made It!

Hi everyone!
This post will be short and sweet as we are going to try to get some rest before hopefully going to see Caleb today. On Trip 1 we had a difficult time getting over the jet lag, especially since I was sick so we are going to try to do a better job at that on this last and final Trip.
Our flights were both good and on time. However, neither of us are sad that we will never fly on bmi again! Luckily we had the Exit Row on both flights and each got some rest. Our bags made it to Bishkek with us so that was a relief as well.
The driver from our hotel was there as expected and took us to the hotel. We are staying at Hotel Jannat this time. It's still dark outside but from what we can tell it is very nice. The rooms are much nicer than Silk Road, although the location is not as convenient to the Beta Store, shopping etc.
We have free wireless internet in the room so we will update this blog as much as we can. And don't worry Moms & Dads, we will call you on Skype tonight (the morning time for you!)
We're off to bed, although Bryan has just become distracted by the TV show "Cash Cab"... in Russian. I guess that is better than last time when all we could find was the Russian TV show about cats.

WAHOO!! You are there and all of your bags are too! Give Caleb hugs and kisses from Granny and Daddy Bob,and tell him we love him. I'm wondering if the earthquake in Kyrgyzstan affected the Bishkek area. Is it a big news story or do they happen often there? Have a wonderful day with your baby boy! Love, Mom
PS Sophie is doing fine, but she did wait for you by the front door today.
