Well, the title just about says it all. We got a package a few days ago containing all of our passports with visas - not a moment too soon. I know this will come as a shock to all of you who have dealt with what I will generously term "government efficiency" before, but our visas were supposed to be mailed directly to us since they were being completed so closely to our departure date. Naturally, instead of doing that, the State Dept shipped them to CA only to have the Travel office there overnight Fed-Ex them right back to our current location - a whole 20 miles from the State Dept. Seriously. Your tax dollars at work right there.
We received an update a few days ago as well that the housing situation for us is not exactly ironed out. But really, who needs a place to live? ;) As it happens, "adequate" housing is a bit hard to come by where we're going, and we'll likely end up in some sort of temporary living quarters while our arrangements are finalized. So, I know there were a lot of people who wanted to come visit right away, but sadly, you'll probably need to wait at least a month or two for us to get settled.
Upcoming projects include packing the rest of our boxes that we need to ship and packing/weighing all of our bags at least 3 or 4 times.
