Less than a day to go here in Vlad. We were out and about finishing up our business here; along with Irina, Chris, Daniela and Sasha. At 1:30pm today, we headed back to the passport office to pick up Victoria’s Russian passport. What a cute picture and she enjoyed looking at it (over and over and over, hahaha…). We were then on to see the doctor’s office (as required by the US Embassy for Victoria to receive her US citizenship). All went well and we got back to the hotel around 4:45pm.
This officially wraps up our business here in Vladivostok and we leave for the airport at 11am tomorrow morning. So, we are in our final hours...just time for dinner, packing, then on to bed. Once we arrive in Moscow tomorrow afternoon, we will be half way home (physically). So, that will feel great.
Here are a few pictures from today…

So Victoria will leave Russia with her Russian passport. That is what the Russian authorities do since 1992. This means that for them she will remain the Russian citizen for ever. If she decides to visit Russia one day when she grows up, they won’t allow her to enter Russia with American passport as an American citizen. They did the same thing to us 16 years ago and that is why we would never ever visit Russia again since we left it for good. --Irene
