I have a visa, hurray!! There were times I thought this day would never come, what with being turned down for the cheap visa, having to fork out £750 for this one, chasing the US relentlessly for a training plan to submit, problems with scanners, mistakes with visa codes, worries about Syrian visas, etc etc. Am a very happy bunny.
Feeling for the first time today that I am making real progress with preparations for the trip, having also sorted out a new credit card, bank account (well almost, that's another story), contact lenses and finally telling my clients I'm leaving. This has produced mixed results, with some clearly thinking I've been sacked until I tell them why I'm going, and others thinking going off travelling for 2 years is a bit of an odd thing for their solicitor to do... Everyone has been very sweet though, and should I need somewhere to stay in Libya apparently I have a family waiting to accommodate me!
Is full speed all the way now - a month today and I'll be meeting up with Rich. Is all starting to get a bit exciting, and feels like this is really is going to happen!
