Tickets to Fly and Visas, Too

This morning's e-mail included one forwarded by the dear husband relaying the approval number for our visas to Vietnam. He's checking whether this means we can now head up to Washington, DC, to the Vietnamese embassy, to get our passports stamped. The visas are supposed to be for multiple entries, to allow us to leave Vietnam for Cambodia, to visit Angkor Wat, and then re-enter Vietnam for our flight out. The dear husband was also going to try to make it to the travel agent today to get reservations in place for the going and coming. I've been tackling my own continuing list. I have one more account to set up with online payment and then I think we'll be good to go on paying utility bills from afar. The mortgage is already on a pay-ahead schedule that will mean we won't need to write checks for the two months we're away. The sons have their Eurail passes, though they still need hostel cards and international student ID cards. It's all becoming a bit more real each and every day.
