Checking In

It has been a week since we received our referral. We are trying to be sure we are keeping on schedule and getting everything we need for our trip. There are forms to print, things to buy, bags to pack, etc.

The next step for us is to be contacted by our travel advisor. They will make all flight arrangements and appointments for us. I will try to keep you all updated as things progress.
