Check off another item on the to-do list! This week, our official passports came. They are maroon instead of green and show that we are travelling on official government business. Now, these passports have to be used to apply for a Schengen Visa. . If we don't have this Visa, they can deport us! YIKES.
The maroon passports are now on their way to a consulate in Chicago with our Visa applications. It should take about 2 weeks for them to be approved and returned to us. We will be ready to get on the plane and go once they are in hand!
Well, sort of ready...
