The latest report from our caseworker is that they still expect us to travel in February sometime. What once seemed like it would never be a reality has suddenly turned into a light at the end of the tunnel. We are now at a point we feel we aren't being premature in making out lists of what to take and starting to gather items for the trip.
We have little by little picked up things as we have come acrossed them. I think we are pretty set on electronics, battery chargers, converters, surge protectors, adapters, etc.
The tradition is to take items to give to certian people as token of appreciation for assisting us in country and caring for the children. We have been picking up items here and there that we thought might make good gifts. I guess it is time to go through all the items that we have collected and just stuck in the closest for later and actually see what we have accumulated and what we still need.
Our caseworker gave us pros and cons of turning the 2nd and 3rd visit into one long visit. I think her best advice was to wait until after the 1st trip and then decide if we would rather make 2 more long round trips or stay for a 5-9 weeks and only make one more long round trip at the end. Obviously the more time we spend in country after the first trip the less time we may have to spend at home when we get back before we have to return to our jobs.
Hopefully santa will be generous to us this year and bring us the coveted LOI for Christmas so we can actually set a travel date.
