Visa Preparation

Now that we have returned from Thailand, our focus turns to obtaining our visa for our trip to Italy. Realistically, nothing else really matters. The house can be left a shambles and our caretakers will deal with it. Our cars can be left as is and we end up paying much more for insurance, but that is only money. We can run out of space while packing and end up buying a wardrobe in Italy, etc. But all of that will be moot if we don't get a visa.

So, today we gather all of the paperwork we were told we needed on the website and all of the other things we can think of that we weren't told we needed but that they could request, make multiple copies and hope that we make it through the process. We have yet to decide exactly how we plan to make the trip tomorrow, whether we will try to drive all the way in during rush hour and park downtown or park somewhere on the outskirts and take the subway in. No matter what, we will get an early start for our 9 am appointment and hope that the consulate has good air conditioning since the forecast for Boston tomorrow is 99 degrees with an excessive heat warning.
