Visa!

All the stuff we had to do!!  YUCK!!

I am breathing easier.  The Visa's came in on Tuesday, May 29 and Wendy was to leave for Haiti for a CWE mission trip on Saturday.  She will not kill me, as she threatened! :)  The page in the passport is actually quite impressive - while the Bolivian visa certainly did not look like a $150+ stamp at least the Cameroonian visa is full color and takes up a whole page!!  I had to call the company several times, I have no idea what the hold up was. They were well past their required 10 business days.

The $180 Visa is only good for 90 days - and we got them so early that we will be in and out of that deadline by one day.  The packet of information I had to send was over an inch thick of just paper.  One paper copy of each passport page, two copies of Visa application, two copies of Passport Plus application, 1 paper for each person of letter of invite by Ben, Bank statement and letter from our church for financial solvency, copies of airline itinerary for each person, Yellow fever shot information for each person, and two photos of each person staples to the visa application and 19 passports.  For 19 people, this was a challenge.  I kept missing a piece of information here a bit there.  What a relief it was to drop it all a FedEx.  The employee put it all in a box and sealed it with only the adhesive tape on the inside cover.  I looked at him and said, "Can you put some additional tape on the box?"  He said, "Would that make you feel better?" "Yes! that is a lot of work you have right there," I replied.  He just smiled and taped it!


God is good!

This is what got Fed Ex to Passports Plus!  Did you hear my sigh of relief?
