Talking Gc Bc!

We were informed today that our attorney picked up Abe's birth certificate from Guatemala City yesterday! The agency says 3 to 4 weeks until pickup!!

See our time line below but it was just less than a month turnaround. We are pulling for everybody else waiting! Hopefully this opens the flood gates!!

You know we liked the Westin last visit trip but a couple of things are making us consider the Marriott. The rooms at the Westin were musty and the pillows were down pillows - which we both are allergic to.

That would be awesome if we had some board buddies to keep us company. Hope you get your BC soon!
