Yesterday was the long awaited fingerprint appointment. We drove to Atlanta on Monday night and stayed at a hotel in order to avoid having to make the drive from Hawkinsville (2 1/2 hours) for our 8am date with the Dept. of Homeland Security.
We were a tad late, having underestimated the back roads traffic...it's been so long since we've lived in a busy city!
We had to leave everything in the car. No purse, camera, cell phone, etc...I'm surprised that they let us bring the girls in!
I was assisted by a rather nonchalant gentleman...I didn't feel the need to explain to him just how important his job was at that very moment!
Billie and I were both finished about 20 minutes after we walked in the door. I felt that there should be more waiting since we had driven so far...but they wouldn't have accommodated me anyway.
So that's that. Pretty unexciting if you think about it, but a rather necessary part of this whole journey. So that makes it exciting for US!
Also found out today that our dossier was sent to ET last Friday, which just happened to be Billie's 31st birthday! It arrived on Monday. I'm not sure how AAI works as far as our log in date is concerned.
I'll let you know just as soon as I know!
For now...we're on our way!
