Stressful Saturday - 9/27

We are having a very stressful afternoon and evening in attempting to change our flight home. One of the local inspectors in Simferopol who needs to sign off on some of our paperwork is on vacation. Our court date is slated for 10/17 or so and we feel there's no real need for us to remain in the country for the next 2.5 weeks so we've decided to come home during this time. Our current tickets won't allow us to depart until 10/6, our date we originally planned to come home. We attempted to change them today without any success since there aren't any seats available until 10/14 unless we just keep our original flight of 10/6. So, we've been making calls, using the internet, going to the train station and airport and local travel agent. We have a tentative flight that we're likely going to book for Tuesday, 9/30 tomorrow when the travel agency opens again. Whew . . . what a day!!
