The Day is Here

So my plan for leaving August 6th didn't work out.  The documents got here a little bit later than I expected.  Once it got here, I decided to personally take it to Chicago to save mailing time.  After driving to Chicago and then getting lost for about 4 hours, I've finally sent in my application for my E-2 working visa and will be picking it up tomorrow (Friday).  All this rush to get my visa was so I can make my stopover in Hong Kong to visit some family and friends.  I think that is going to happen.  My flight is booked for Saturday and as long as the Korean Consulate General didn't mess up, I should be in the air by 9:43am.  This whole process was filled with obstacles and barriers.  I guess I can look at them as a test for how much I really want to do this.  I am extremely excited but I still have to pass one last test; that is, fitting a year worth of apparel in two average sized suitcases (keeping it under 45lbs). I am also a bit worried about my flight with Air Canada.  After all, who can trust the Canadians...:)
