Paperwork is finished -- I hope!

While I was on vacation in Canada, I checked my email account periodically.  Well I checked before I went to the Canadian wilderness on Lake Huron and I checked 7 days later when I emerged to spend time with my friend at her house.  And I found that the paperwork from my new employer had been finished.  I had been waiting for a while for the documents needed for my visa application to be completed.

As I returned home yesterday, on July 31st,  from Canada, I decided to take the train into Chicago to visit the Turkish Consulate to apply for visa today.  I had been told what I needed to bring with me to the consulate by a very organized staff member of my new employer, so I was prepared for my meeting.  And to my surprise and delight, I dealt with some very nice people at the consulate who processed my visa application in the same day as my visit.  I had been told that the process could take a week!  So I spent a few hours shopping and lunching in Chicago until the visa was ready.
