Embassy for his Visa and PACK
Last day. All of us are so looking forward to leaving. Charlotte and Dave are packed and counting down the hours and minutes. Anita, Beth and I run to the Green Bizarre for souvenirs.
We all leave to go to US Embassy --- which is actually the US Console office at 3:30. Very easy process.
Get their info packet and Sam’s (all kids) passports and Visas. Ahhhhh, it’s going to happen. Really.
Sonia tells Dave (and he tells us) that we need to go to the Luftansa office to get stickers on our tickets, since the date changed. There is an office by the Hyatt. Todd, Sam and I go with Dave to the ticket office then we go into the Hyatt for dinner. $4.00 for a Diet Coke, gee, just like home already. LOL Back to hotel to call Saralee, pack, and wait for midnight. And yes, there was a party in the Restaurant so we had that nice bass beat to keep us company while we waited.
Sam can pull himself up in his crib --- has to pull up on toes, so Todd says his calves are developing before his eyes.
He pulls himself up to end tables and our beds and of course to toilet and the shower stall base.
He can make the Indian sound – hand over mouth but he smacks too hard with his hand, looks painful. He can clap and wave hi and bye. Big vocalizations are “Ahh” and “Da” and he says something that sounds like “again”.
