We were out at a Bia Hoi with a couple of friends and received a phone call from Dave & Thao. They received the visa today from the consulate, just in time to fly back to the U.S. without expensive changes in travel plans.

Mai and I were truly thrilled to hear this news, we've been praying for them since we came back to Hanoi.

Dave told me to post this for him because they don't have a great internet connection where they are living now.

Congratulations Dave & Thao, you deserve the best after all this waiting. We hope to meet you soon in the U.S! Best wishes!

Gratz to you both. I am happy that you did not have to wait any longer. Good news on the plane tickets as well. That has been a concern of mine for when it is our turn. I hope it goes as well for us.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Thao and I are at my home in Minnesota now. We arrived yesterday. We got the visa 2 days before I was leaving. It was a very stressful trip my from the time I arrived in Vietnam to the time we landed in Minneapolis. To top everything off, the airline lost on of my suitcases. It contained all my clothes, all of Thao's shoes and some clothes and a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue. She alo put her Vietnam ID in the case for some reason. I hope this won't cause a problem down the road.

Thanks again everyone!

You mean lost, as in lost permanently?

And you managed to fit all that stuff PLUS all of Thao's shoes in one suitcase?

We had 3 boxes and 1 suitcase. One box was full of food items for Thao's Aunt in the USA. The suitcase was delivered to my house yesterday with everything inside. Even my Johnnie Walker Blue! It was a heavy case!

Have a safe trip home James and Mai.
