After much trouble and back and forth, I finally have booked a flight. While living in Ohio, "the heart of it all", has its benefits, when it comes to booking an international flight, it's not the best place to be leaving from. Therefore, my itinerary is sort of ugly to look at, with long layovers in the LAX airport. I fly out of Detroit on Friday, June 15th, arrive at Dallas/Fort Worth, then on to LA. After a long layover in LA, I leave for Tawain, and then head on in to the capital, Phnom Penh. GEESH!I decided to stay a few days after the program ends, to be able to travel to the temples in Angkor War, so my flight leaves from Cambodia on Saturday, July 21, and I'll be back in Detroit Sunday morning. I put the flight on a credit card, the first time I've ever used one, so let's keep our fingers crossed that I stay on top of this and not end up paying for this flight the rest of my life.
Now all I have to do is send the application for my Visa to the embassy in Washington DC. Of course, the picture I had to take for it looks like crap. Why is it impossible to take a decent, normal looking picture for your license or any other official document?! If you're lucky, I'll humble myself and post the visa picture, just so everyone can laugh at it :-)
However, I'm doubtful that will happen, especially because of an email I just recieved a few short moments ago. I sent a letter and some information to an office on campus that is in charge of learning initiatives here on campus, and they have agreed to donate some money to this program. In return, I will make two presentations on campus, one being a coffee hour program that our International UD program does fairly often, and then the other presentation can be of my choice. How excellent!
Coming Soon: The list of offices and agencies we will be visiting while we're there.
