We've Re-Booked

So, we weren't expecting to get our Visas until Monday, at the earliest. To our surprise, we found out this morning that they were being delivered today. We made a mad dash back to Edmonton, as the pack was being delivered to the home of our friends, Dale and Kathleen, who weren't home. We were eager to receive the package instead of wait until Monday. Well, we learned from the friendly people at FedEx that the driver had left our package behind the screen door at Dale and Kathleen's, which concerned us as they don't live in the greatest of neighborhoods, and if the wrong person got their hands on it, well, they'd have everything they need to steal our identities. Needless to say, I was freaking out and Brandon kept telling me to relax, to no avail. Thankfully, Mom and Dad Goodkey picked up the package and it was placed safely into our hands this afternoon. Since then, we've re-booked our flights (hence the new countdown), we've reserved a rental car as well as a hotel for our first week. We're really on our way now.
Tonight we said a tearful goodbye to Tiffany, Brandon's sister. It was the first of family goodbyes, and we're in for a tough time, I think.
So, stay tuned... we're off.
