Well, we got our appointment email today. We have a July 9 interview in Manila. On the one hand it's a really good feeling to have gotten here, but on the other hand we're realizing how much there is to do in the next 25 days. It's pretty overwhelming. Any advice for wrapping up the final leg of the journey here? So many things that could be forgotten. Thanks!
