Unbelievable Day. At 11:00 an we were told that all of the children in our CCAI group would get their visas today except Joey. Tom had been on the phone trying to contact ANYONE (Dean's Lobbyist, Michael Heifetz for access numbers, Feingold, Kohl) to help us, but to no avail. Finally, after calling the Consulate endlessly for two hours, we were told that Joey's visa would be processed today. That's the good news.
Unfortunately, when our Guides were told that we could not receive Joey's visa today, they booked the last two tickets on tomorrow night's flight to LA. So, once they learned that Joey's visa was going to be processed today, they immediately called the airlines to have our original tickets rebooked. No such luck. Instead we were waitlisted and therefore had to go "stand by" and hang around the airport for 2.5 hours with a fussy little boy. The plane was overbooked, and we did not get on the flight.
So, we're back at the White Swan Hotel for another night. Everyone is extremely nice to us as they feel very sorry for us! We just smile and nod. This day has been almost as emotional as the day that we got Joey...just different emotions.
Hope to get home Sunday.
Guess we'll eat at the buffet again,
mb, tom, joe
