Excitement and Panic



Well, the exciting news is that we have received our travel approval... the document we have been praying for and now we request a consulate appt (takes 1-6 days), then we travel 7-14 days after that. The panic is as a result of the fact that our travel agency just contacted us and let us know that the visas that we received were processed incorrectly!! We rushed to Fed Ex to get our passports back to San Francisco tonight for overnight delivery. They will call us tomorrow to let us know if they can do expedited service for us since it wasn't our mistake. Pray that they will do it, and that we won't have to pay the extra fees for expediting them. The consulate made the mistake, but the travel service we used should have caught the mistake last week before returning them. I am trying to focus on the excitement of getting our TA, but I am more than a wee bit stessed about the visas.
So, we wait again. Waiting seems to be a theme in our lives- you'd think I would learn to mellow with age, but I'm still fighting it. Well, more news to come soon!

CONGRATS on your TA!!!! That was really fast!! Dont stress about the Visa thing. It will be fine and will work out and you will have them back before you travel so dont worry about it. Now for the cool part-- TRAVEL!!!! How totally exciting that in about 2 weeks you will be on a plane to go pick up your little girl. I am just thrilled for you! Have you received any updates on her?
