I still do not have my computer out of the shop, but thought I would use The Hubb's so I could share our news.
I feel like I have been caught in a tornado. On Thursday morning we get a phone call that our province would like us in Vietnam for giving and receiving on Friday the 29th.(let me just mention we thought it would be AT LEAST another 3 weeks out) Oh yes, this is WONDERFUL news with the exception that we had not yet applied for our visas or arranged any sort of travel arrangements. Luckily my mom was here for a visit and took care of the travel arrangements (and me) while The Hubb and I were spinning!!
Everything is still somewhat up in the air, however we overnighted our Visa request with a letter pleading for a fast turn- a- round to the consulate in SanFran.......and they were closed on Friday for re-modeling! our request will be re-redelivered on Monday morning. We have no way of knowing at this point when they will even be open at his point.
The plans as they stand right now are to fly out on Wednesday morning with a quick overnight stay in HoChiMin then off to Hanoi first thing Friday and giving and receiving Friday afternoon. CRAZY!! Now of course this will all have to change if we do not receive our Visa's back Tuesday! CRAZY,CRAZY!! My mom and I have got everything packed and ready to go. Paige is waiting, I cant believe it it. She will be just a few days over 3 months when we meet her.
Elizabeth if you read this I PROMISE I will get in touch with you as soon as I get my computer back! and gosh darn it Jenna, I want so badly for you to get your referral.

Happy, happy, joy, joy. Don't you worry about me! You'd BETTER post from Vietnam so make sure you have the correct converter and adapter for your laptop. Tell the dudes from the Geek Squad to get off their asses and get your laptop back to you. I am sending every positive thought your way that the Visas will get there Tuesday.
