two days + a few

So the visa shenanigans are continuing ...

what about a visa you ask. Well, ideally the lot of us should depart on Thursday . We then got moved to Friday . Still fine because it the programme in the US begins on the 1st Feb so we'd have a bit of time to recover from jet lag.

But that wasn't the end of the alterations and altercations. A few more changes to flights and other bookings have had to be made since then. We now may only leave SA on the 7th!(again I write this with bated breath as the word visa crosses my mind). The unlucky persons that just finally completed all their paperwork over and above their normal assignments have to re-do it all! So altercations it has been and shall be.

whats the delay? Well, to put it plainly , overnight delivery isn't quite overnight. Its takes a few days. in our case that's about 4 working days that we don't have. The embassy wants to see original documents for everything so until then ...we wait
