Travel Dates!

I just got an email confirming that we will arrive in Sofia, Bulgaria on July 26! We leave in 12 days and should meet Gracie in less than 2 weeks.

So, I just talked to our coordinator and the travel agent about our flights during this peak travel time. I guess this is the "high holiday" season in Europe and everyone wants to visit the US for the holiday. We are extending our in country stay by one day to get a reasonable return flight, but I don't really mind. This is our chance to take in as much of Bulgaria as possible. The travel agent's fare was about $600 higher than the price online, so we decided to book the tickets ourselves. Here is our itinerary:

Depart from Chicago O'Hare on July 25 at 5:25 pm, connect in London and arrive in Sofia on July 26 at 8:30 am. Return on August 2 at 6:45 am, connect in London and arrive in Chicago at 11:45 am. All of the flights are with British Airways, so our connections should be at close terminals in an English-speaking country, too.
