Of course we set an alarm and of course we woke up before the alarm even went off. No time for showering and such... just a slice of cold pizza and off we go to the BLS office. Our appointment was for 8:30 AM and we were walking down the street with our big folders stuffed full with our paperwork when Leslie says oh, no! She had left her passport in its usual place and not in the folder. I gave her my folder and hoofed it back to the hotel. These long legs finally were paying off and I made it to the hotel and then the BLS office all before the office even opened. The submitting of paper work was difficult to say the least. there was a counter with a large plexiglass partition. We had to slide the documents in the slot at the bast and try to hear the attendant through the small hole towards the top. It mas made works when the list they gave us was not in the same order that I had my documents. to it took us a while and them when we sat down both of us fount additional required documents that they did not have on the list. Finally we made it, got our pictures taken and headed back to the room for a big sigh of relief. We headed off to the airport to wait for our flight. It was delayed due to St Louis storms! We found a nice spot out of the way and hunkered down with books to read and music to listen to. The flight was delayed till 7:55 and just by chance we heard an announcement that the flight would be boarding soon. This was just after 6, long before we were supposed to board. Thankfully we heard the announcement or we might have missed our flight.
