Plans Made in Hope

Well, family members who worried about the craziness of our original plans... they won't work.

 We did get great service with Golden Rule Travel, and he was able to arrange flights for us that are significantly less than the prices that we were seeing online, which is great. We are pretty much paying the same as we would for an escort for us both to go, so that feels good.

 Everything rides on the visa printing as planned on the 22nd. We will confirm with our power of attorney that it did print, and then we fly out this Sunday, the 24th. To get the reduced fare, we are having longer layovers, and more stops, but it's okay.

So, we go first to Denver, then to Frankfurt (I get to visit Germany... though maybe only the airport) and from there to Accra. We arrive in Accra on Monday, we are staying the night at a hotel near the airport, and then on Tuesday we are getting Grace. We fly out with her Tuesday night, again go to Frankfurt, but this time the next stop is Washington D.C. and from there to LAX. Long layovers, long flights, and not the best arrival time (we land at midnight Wednesday), but she'll be here (as long as the visa prints fine).

My morning has been exciting- booking flights, booking hotel, changing one of my appointments, making Grace's first doctor's appointment, booking pet hotel. Sigh. Lots. But I think I now officially have everything squared away, so just pray that the visa print goes flawlessly... and we fly out Sunday!
