Hey guys - sorry I haven't written sooner...

It's crazy - we were both sleep deprived - Neetu from jet lag and not sleeping on the plane and me from not getting proper sleep last night (no surprise there lol) ...

The day was going in slow motion lol ... Anyway, now we're chilling in the house.

Everything went smoothly and there were no issues at POE - Neetu was out in about an hour after she landed - which wasn't too bad ... No questions at POE, just a review of her paperwork and she was out the door smile.gif

WE CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S REALLY DONE!!!!!!!!
