Have Visa, Can Travel

After two months of paperwork, waiting, chest x-rays, waiting, on-line applications, and more waiting, we received notification that our visa application has been approved. Just one more trip to the embassy to have it evidenced in our passports, and we're all set for three years in Australia.

I immediately purchased my plane ticket - departing on Feb. 25th - arriving in Melbourne on the morning of the 27th, after 10,000 miles in the air.

Still juggling housing options. The Melbourne Grand Prix will take place the end of my first week there, and that event seems to have absorbed all the hotels and temporary housing in the city. May have to spend the first week out in the suburbs, after which I'm hoping to find a small apartment for 3-4 months by which point Uta (and all of our wordly possessions) will hopefully have arrived.
