An Update

My aunt and uncle went to the consulate this morning and were able to pay for my visa. They also found out that the earliest the visa could be processed by is 4:00 on Thursday. This does not leave me enough time to get it through the mail before departure on Friday. So, we tossed around numerous ideas of how I could get to Chicago on Thursday and start my journey in O'hare and skip the Cleveland leg. Still, this would be a huge pain because it would mean a 7 hour road trip or booking another plane ticket-- both seriously cutting into time I had hoped to spend here with Jason and my family, and costing more money. After talking to Footprints, they agreed to reschedule my flight. Yipee! This way Timmy will get home from camp so he can be here when I leave, and I'll get more time to make memories to take with me. I've still caused a hassle for my aunt and uncle and the travel agent, but at this point there's not much else I could have done. Next time you're travelling abroad, do all your paper work as early as possible. You're bound to hit delays! :)
