Ron made it home from Russia around 12:30am this morning, without his luggage. The airline assured him it must just be on another flight, and they would deliver it once it surfaced. Since he packs like a girl, he had just about every piece of clothing he owned in there, including every last pair of underwear. I was as bad as the kids. The first thing I did when he told me his luggage was lost was to lament the loss of our souvenirs. (No need to fear. They were in his carry-on.)
When there was no sign of his suitcase on our patio this morning, Ron started to get a little concerned about his lack of underwear, toothbrush, and deodorant. I did some quick laundry while he brushed his teeth Survivor style (with his finger). He declined to use an extra toothbrush we had for the kids. After some deliberating he decided that he would rather try my "made for a woman" deodorant than go without (a decision for which we were all grateful). Somewhat refreshed, we headed out to check out the new house and figured we'd stop to get some basic supplies for him on the way home. While we were out, the airline called and announced they had delivered his suitcase. Thankfully, it was waiting for us on the patio when we returned. So...Ron and all his belongings made it home safe and sound. Thank you all for your prayers for his safety (and our sanity).
I am posting some pictures he took while sight seeing on Friday.

That's the same church Dad and I visited on our trip. That's where we ran into all the gypsy kids begging. Dad missed the "soldiers" though.
