Visas are in hand!

Praise the Lord! John and Tom were able to pick up their visas today with no trouble. As they are flying tomorrow, this is a big relief to all of us. Not much else to report except frantic packing and working to get John's things together along with some items that John will be taking over to the Edelen family in Papua. John also has some items left on his "to do before the trip" list here at home. That may be the final hurdle for his departure, as I have indicated that there will be no ride to the airport until a few things get taken care of. :)
