Will we go tomorrow or won't we?

Our passports were handed to another volunteer going to Ethiopia in Alicante, on the other side of Spain, last night. She handed ours back and told the couriers they had to be got to us today. We've been biting our nails all day to the point that we haven't got many left. VSO, though in touch with the courier company, will still not assure us we will have our passports today in time to fly tomorrow morning, something about they were back in the depot; I don't like the sound of that - it reeks of paperwork and more delay. If you don't hear from us for a few days it's because we got our passports and are on our way. If you do hear, my tone will not be so mild as this.

    That sounds stressful to say the least! Not what you need on top of everything else. Hope it all works out, admin problems seem to be VSO's achilles heel.

    How are things now in Ethiopia? Have you settled in ok? I've seen Richard in Tara's blog :) It must be wonderful to have so many familiar faces to accompany you there.
    Hope you're having fun.
