The journey begins...

Leah is officially travelling to India. Sure, she is in Seattle for a couple days before her flight, but she is on her way nonetheless.

We had hoped Leah would have more time in Seattle, but she had a minor passport and visa crisis that was only resolved on Friday. Leah's passport expired mid-November, at which time she promptly mailed it off to get a new one.

The Canadian passport office received her passport on Nov 18th and, according to their website, would only take 20 days to process. That would mean that by Dec 15th or so they would mail it back. Not so... it wasn't until Jan 10th (Wed) that the passport arrived, just in time for a flight to Vancouver to get her India visa processed. By Friday, Leah was back on track, India visa and new passport in hand.

So, I drove up to Vancouver on Saturday to pick-up Leah and get her on her way to India via Seattle. Leah leaves for Mumbai from Seattle (via London) on Tuesday. Its then that the real journey begins. For now, Seattle is just a warm up...
