Visas

On January 6 I sent a UPS package with our visas in it to a Courier in Maryland. She received the package on Tuesday the 10th and dropped the package off to get our visas on the 11th. She picked them up on the 17th since they were closed for the holiday on the 16th. When the package arrived to her door on the 11th she said that there was a HUGE rip in the package and she was EXTREMELY surprised that all of the Passports were still there. WHEW!! So when she went to drop the package off at the UPS store they wouldn't accept it since one of the air bill's were missing. So we made arrangement with both UPS stores that allowed us to fill out new air bills (no charge) and now the package should be here on the 20th! We will be glad to have this in our hands since this is the last of the paperwork to be done before we leave.

Tickets have been purchased and we are now getting packed.

We have some friends that have not yet received their travel approval. Their agency does not release any travel information until this approval is received. They are so bummed. We both received our referrals on the same day. Please pray that they will have a peace about this situation and that their travel approval will come quickly.
Thanks!
