Progress

We've got our one-tickets again (someday I'll be able to afford round-trip, but probably after the kids are grown!) and we officially leave at 7:50pm after a full day of work on June 11.

Today we are off to get our new visa pics and send off the applications asap. There are some incongruences between what IIG is telling me to send and what the Embassy is telling me is the cost of the visas. Like more than a hundred dollars difference, but I think that stems from 1-month vs. 6-month. There's no way I'm getting a one-month-at-a-time visa. Yuck.

I also got the contract, signed, scanned and the original packed into our luggage. Things are coming along.
