We had a little scare when our guide called this afternoon to tell us that the computer system at the US Consulate was down and visas would not be issued today for families who had appointments yesterday (like us!). Luckily our flight doesn't leave until tomorrow night, so there's a chance the system would be fixed tomorrow and we could still keep our flight. Otherwise, Jay can't come in the country without his visa so we'd have to change our flights and stay here until the Consulate can issue his visa. There was a slight amount of panic from the kids (and me!) who are very ready to come home. At 4:45 this afternoon, we got a call from our guide that the computer system was working and they were going to issue all visas for families with appointments yesterday. Our guide was running back to the Consulate to pick up our visa and will hopefully be back at the hotel in about 30 minutes. I'll feel relieved once we have Jay's visa in my hands and I know we can fly home tomorrow!
