Thailand here we come!

Well, after 3 attempts, we finally have gotten our Thai visas! Can't tell you how excited we are to get that out of the way. Now, we are simply counting down the days to our departure on August 02 and scrambling to get last minute details in order before we head out! We did have quite a time getting things ready for the visas though. First, we went down on Tuesday to DC (the Thai Embassy) in order to apply for our visas. The guy told us we could come by and pick them up the next day (Wednesday). Wow, what a great deal! So we excitedly traveled through DC the next day (about as much fun as a root canal without novicane) only to find out that one piece of information was missing. The guy kindly told us to come back the next day... ... ... I must confess I wasn't the most happy or rejoicing kind of person at that very moment. But at any rate, we traveled back to Glen Burnie and re-rescheduled a trip to DC for Thursday. Finally once we navigated through the endless jungle of one-way streets, we arrived at the Thai Embassy. With trembling hands I walked through the doors and asked for the visas. They simply handed them to me and said, "thank you". That was it... ... ... Three days, but hey, we have our visas now! So God really did work it out just fine, and all my worrying and fretting did nothing but populate my stomach with butterflies! Lesson learned, God really does know best... and hey, I now know the way to the Thai Embassy in DC by heart!
