It gets better though. :-) Included with my Visa was a form to fill out in case there were any changes in circumstances. I'd known these existed, but was suprised there was a sticky note on it telling me to fill it out and return it ASAP. I'd always thought these were for if there WERE any changes in circumstance. So I phoned and she told me that they require these just in case there were any changes and to just fill it out and write "no change" on the appropriate lines. I can see the sense in using these if/when there are changes, but not for the sake of filling another folder somewhere. I did as I was told though.

Twas a $13.99US "courier" fee, not a bloody stamp. The tickets are sorted out. I leave Saginaw on 10 Dec and arrive home on 13 Dec. I get two suitcases to stuff the remnants of this life into and the rest will have to stay behind. Cheers, Gaelyne ...
