I am very excited to say that my Ghanaian visa has arrived! No big deal, you say? Actually, it is. You see, I mailed in my visa to the Ghana Embassy in Washington, D.C., last week. Although my departure for Ghana isn't until July 8th, I'm leaving the country for a family vacation before: on June 27th! Which means that... I had only two very short weeks to have my passport back in my hands or else I was missing the vacation.Needless to say, I was stalking the UPS website, tracking the progress of my package nearly hourly. "What would happen? What if my passport is stuck in the embassy for two weeks and I'm stuck in the U.S.?" were the thoughts racing through my mind for three agonizing days.
And then, unbelievably, my passport arrived at the embassy and was turned around in only 12 hours. It went out the very next day, and is now safely back in my hands. I have no plans to let it go any time soon! Check out the pictures of this sherbet-colored little visa :
Oh, and you may notice that I choose the "Multiple Entry" option, which means that I can go in and out of Ghana for the next five years... just in case.
