The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground. ~Author Unknown
Apparently bribery and harassment do work. What the British Embassy told me would take at least 2 weeks only took 2 days. My good pal Simon called me this afternoon to let me know that my passport was on its way, and would arrive tomorrow morning.
He also gave me advice on what to say to the airline to get them to change my ticket for free (which I had already successfully accomplished) because "it is not as if you missed your flight because you were pissed (English word for drunk) at the bar." Sounds like Simon has had some problems with traveling too... but that comment made me like him more.
I wonder if Simon still calls his Mum when he has travel dilemmas? Whether he does or not, I promise you she is nowhere near as good as mine.
Oh and now not only will my passport be valid again, but my passport picture is WAY cuter than Katie's.
Thanks to all who supported me through my tears (read: Skeemers (aka Mom), Dadders (self explanatory) and Doodle (aka Katie). I can't wait to get there and get some pictures up on this blog.
