Hi Everyone...
We are sitting in the airport in Huntsville waiting on our fllight to Brussels via Atlanta. It has been a whirlwind 2 days. On Tuesday we received word that Marc's wrork permit was being fed-exed to us from Brussels and that once we received it, we could go to Atlanta to submitmit the papterwork for our visas. We made plans to go the next day (not that we were anxious or anything) and to have the movers come pick up our air shipment on friday. Then when Marc went to track the fed-ex package we found that it was not dropped off in time and we would not get it until thursday. So we rescheduled the movers for thursday and made plans to go to Atlanta on Friday. So far so good. We has been told that we would have to drop off the paperwork for our visas at the Belgiam consolate and return the next week to pick up the visas. When we got to the consolate early on friday (having left Huntsville at 4:30 AM... not that we were anxious or anything) she told us if we went to get a cup of coffee she would have the visas ready in an hour! Amazing! We couldn't beleive it! We wouldn't have to make another trip down to Atlanta AND we would have them several days earlier than we had thought. So, with the visas in our hot little hands by noon we looked at each other and said..."Howc soon can we get on a plane"? (Not tthat we are anxious or anything) So by the time arrived back in Huntsville, we had decided to try to leave on Sunday..... and here we are sittling at the airport on Suday! YIPPEE We were really glad that we had had the movers come on thursday, so that was done, but between Friday afternoon and saturday night we had to: make plane reservations, arrange to clear out of our temporary apartment, reutrn the leased car, mail some packages, pack our siutcases, clean out Marc's office here, and on and on.... but we did it.... and we are finally off on our new adventure!
More later......

Not that you were anxious.....
Who are you kidding, you were anxious. Glad I got to talk to Marc the other nite in chat. Hope you had (since you won't see this till you are in Belgium) a great flight and that you find an apartment soon. Make sure you send me your address and phone numbers, etc. so we can stay in touch. Gaile
