Travel Date...

We finally have a set travel date of September 24th! We took our last summer weekend getaway over the labor day holiday to visit family and friends in Boise (Go Broncos...) We got the confirmation call about half way between Billings and Boise. I don't even know how we got cell service, but very glad we did. It's confirmed. We have an Encuentro date on Sept. 26th (this is the date that the Colombian officials bring us Ruben). We drove straight to the Boise airport to firm up our tickets. This took about an hour. Delta has an "adoption rate ticket", most delta staff don't even know what this is, because it is very rare and complicated. The wait was worth it, as the two round trip tickets for Tracey and I and a one way ticket for Ruben saved us about 1/2 the price. Well worth the wait, also it is %100 flexible, so we can change the date if we happen to get done sooner. Wishful thinking I am sure. We booked our return ticket for 5 weeks as instructed. As soon as we finished with our tickets, it was off to the nearest Fed ex, so that we could send passports and other necessary documents to the consulate in San Francisco. We hope that this is a speedy process and we get our travel visa's and passports back in a week. Much preperation and packing to do. Stay posted. the adventure is about to begin...
