We got our travel approval on 1-29-15!!
Flights were confirmed 1-30-15!
Hotels and intercountry travel arrangements will take place in a week or so.
I was working on the computer when the phone call came in. Normally I don't answer numbers I don't recognize, but the call was coming from Virginia.
Virginia!!
I new it was the agency... it had to be.
Sure enough, it was. They were calling to let us know that our TA was in the system but that they hadn't received the 'hard copy' yet. They wanted to know if we wanted them to go ahead and book all our consulate appointments or if we wanted to wait. Ummm.... kind of a dumb question.
The phone call was short and sweet, saying she'd be in contact with us to discuss flight options.
Fast forward about a day.
I randomly checked my email before going into the Dollar Tree and there are 2 flight itineraries waiting for us to decide on. I freaked out, called Brian, decided on a flight and then immediately felt like I was going to vomit. That feeling really hasn't gone away yet...
SO.... for obvious reasons I'm not going to post our exact travel dates. However, I can say that it's soon(ish) and we are beyond excited!
We want to thank everyone who has purchased a t-shirt and made donations through Booster. We are thrilled to be able to wear our shirts on the plane! We also want to thank everyone else who has donated or participated in the many other fundraisers we've had. Lastly, (at the moment) we want to thank our neighbors who will be watching our cat, Righteous, while we are gone and Brian's parents who will be keeping our Great Dane, Jake, at their house while we are gone. Oh! And thanks to Tom and Lindsay for keeping our van and transporting us to and from O'Hare!! I could go on and on with all the people that we are thankful for. THANK YOU!!
It's been amazing and stressful, overwhelming and fascinating. But, it will be worth it.
