Pink - and not a moment too soon!

We have our appointment for 2/23! (submitted on 2/13). Good thing because our 1171H expires on 2/26! Can you believe that???

We'll be staying the weekend - an opportunity to see some sights! This will be my 10th time in GUA.

Emily - here we come!!!!

Now - to make reservations...

How exciting! Maybe we'll see you at the Embassy! Where are you staying? We had a hard time finding a hotel that wasn't booked. We're staying at the Hotel San Carlos.

We'll be at the Embassy on 2/23, too! What a close call for you with your dates - goodness!

Good luck making reservations...yikes! It's a hassle - but an exciting hassle to endure, for sure!

Have a safe trip - maybe I'll see you!
