Three Weeks from Today

I just got an email from the visa expediter that my visa arrived and they are sending it along to me. This was a new process for me as I have never traveled to a country that requires a visa. Putting my passport in a FedEx envelope and sending it off without me was a bit disconcerting. ("Goodbye, passport! Promise you'll be back soon!") But it's on its way back. This is another indicator that the trip is getting closer -- just three weeks from today!
