Syrian Visa

Our Syrian Visas have arrived, the one bureacratic hoop that needed to be cleared before we leave. Other countries either issue them at the border, or in their embassies in neighbouring countries, but for some reason, Syria's crazy and requires that you get your visa from your home embassy.

Well, most of the preparations necessary for this trip are well underway. We've jumped through bureaucratic hoops and optained our Syrian visa...the only visa we can't obtain on the road.
On other fronts, I've picked up some foreign cash, though my Egyptian pounds had to be ordered in, and haven't arrived yet. And we've started packing up Kathy's house. Hardly my favourite task, but one that needs to be done, and a hundred times better than painting.
And I've given notice at work...4 more days and I'm free and clear. It's getting close now.
