It looks like we are cleared to travel ...

When we learned we would not be going to the MTC we realized that our trip for Thanksgiving and Mackay's baptism would be the last time we would see our kids for at least two years so we decided to get some family photos to help tie us over. We learned yesterday that our Visa's have been received back by the Missionary Travel department and they are sending them and our itinerary on to us. As it stand right now we will be flying out Monday afternoon directly to London then on to Accra later that day. We will arrive in time for going to bed. Sounds like a good arrangements although we will have a layer of about 5 hours. I think it beats arriving in the morning and having to be productive until the evening. We have done that before so we know what that is like. We are well on our way to getting our household goods boxed and ready for the movers to load Jan 7th. Even thought it may seem a bit early to pack we have found that we are not as young as we used to be when we have done this before. This is not something you want to do the last minute.
