Another day has gone by with no word about our next appointment. Our main contact was hoping to hear by the end of business today, but she did not get any definite info. All we kind of know is that we will most likely not get another appointment tomorrow either...it will more than likely be Thursday or Friday....we may go out to the local mall tomorrow just so we can get out the house for a while....we purchased a cell phone so we can be reached at anytime...all incoming calls are free so if you feel like making a really expensive call, let us know....
During our free time we are doing our best to document all of our adventures, as you have been reading. We have a few more stories to share and new ones are happening nearly everyday....
Although we have only been away from home for 12 days.....we are both missing a lot of things!
In No Particular Order.....Here Are Some Of The Things We Miss Most About Home:
Begin each one with, "We miss...."
1. Family, Friends and Pets!!
2. Taking a shower without worrying about getting water in your mouth.
3. Having more than one trash can...in each of our apartments so far there has been only one small trash can located under the sink.
4. Ice Cubes!! Since leaving the airplane we have yet to even see an ice cube. It is pretty clear that even the locals do not 'drink the water.' On that note, we also miss being able to drink tap water...a constant supply of bottled water is a must!
5. Our Comfortable Bed.....we are both sore from sleeping on a variety of surfaces ranging from slate to granite.
6. Watching TV in English.......we have had 15 to 30 channels to choose from, depending on our location. The programs that are in Russian have been dubbed into Ukraine. Not a big help.
Lisa will be blogging later on the state of TV here in Ukraine....Stay Tuned.
7. Jersey Mike's Sub Shop in Flower Mound, TX. Our last U.S. meal was Jersey Mike's on our way to the airport. We would definitely pay the delivery charge for a Number 9 on Rosemary Parmesan and a Number 8 on Wheat!
8. Driving our cars!
9. Watching the bird feeders in our backyard. We send our sincerest apologies to all of the hungry birds in Lantana for leaving them without seed for so long....
10. Chips and Salsa!!!
11. Doing laundry in our washer and dryer! We have been washing our clothes in the bath tub and hoping they are dry the next day.
12. Cooking our own meals.
Bonus Items:
Lisa misses: Going to the Center and seeing her friends & Hanging out at home with Schnapps, Sabian and Snickers while watching cartoons.
Richard misses: Going to work..(this is the first tax season I have missed in 9 years) & Playing my drums.
Thank you all for your continued support.....
Love Richard and Lisa

Hi Richard and Lisa,
Richard...we miss you at work too!! I have been reading the blog everyday. I think most everyone has. It's exciting to come in every morning and see what's going on with you guys. And they are so funny, btw. I hope that ya'll have another appointment soon. I'm sure the waiting is really hard. I will continue to pray for both of you as your journey continues.

Richard and Lisa,
We are all enjoying your posting. Each morning we check for new postings. You should write a book about your adventures. The blogs have been very entertaining. Hope yall get another appointment real soon and hope it is not another 15 hours away.
