He's coming... for real!!!

It finally happened today: Koudjo received his visa, for real this time. On his sixth visit to the U.S. embassy to pick up his visa, he was finally handed a document we applied for 9 months ago. We are both super excited that it is finally official! Tomorrow he'll buy his ticket, and assuming that the one he reserved today is still available tomorrow, he'll leave April 1 (and that's no joke!) and arrive here on the 2nd. He's coming in less than a month!! Yippee!!! And then you'll get to start meeting this mystery man none of you have ever met (with exception of you, Jessica, to whom I owe meeting him in the first place!). Maybe one reason we had to wait through these frustrating few weeks of him not getting his visa was so that he could find out about Royal Air Maroc flying out of Togo. One of the guys waiting for his visa today told him that this airline also flies out of Togo to the U.S. It is MUCH MUCH cheaper than Air France out of Togo or even British Air out of Ghana. So, this way we save a lot of money and he gets to fly out of Togo (instead of Ghana) so that his family can see him off. Worth three weeks of frustration!! (If only we could have known that at the time :)).
Yeah, he's coming...for real!!!!!
