Got my ticket in my left hand, my Visa in my right...

It's a catchy tune wouldn't you say?

Well surprisingly enough I received my Visa today via Express mail. I didn't think they would deliver on Sundays, but then again I also didn't think the Consulate would have processed it so fast. I must apologize to the USPS for my rant the day before. My bad. You guys are ok.

So it's all set, I leave Portland on September 3rd to Chicago to visit my sister Kelly and my neice Sofia. Then I fly out on September 5th from Chicago to London, then London to Catania on September 6th.

I will be in Cali on August 18th for a few days to see friends and family before I take off.
