Saturday morning marked our final good byes to all the kids and friends at HOM. It was very difficult to get on the vans as we all didn't want to leave...

... but even after we got onto the vans, we were met by a blockade...

As we left HOM each of us was loss for words... Jeff suddenly realize he didn't know where his passport is... The border was coming up close, we frantically search for it on the van...

At the Slovakia and Ukraine border...

My van's fearless driver... There was quite a few scary moments on the road, but he drove like a F1 champ.

After 5-6 hrs on the road (hrs at the border) we reached Budapest.

... and we ate at the Chinese restaurant we always go to after each Ukraine mission trip...

In the evening we made a quick tour in the castle district... beautiful night... we missed the kids...

Early next morning, Valera made 2 trips to the airport to get us all to the airport... we say our final good bye to Vasya and Valera. The long long trip home began....
