Today we went to the US Embassy for our exit interview. There were seven other families there with us. Most of the kids were around the same age as Maxim. The people at the Embassy have done this before; they gave us a big bag of toys to play with while we waited. As soon as the toys came out the kids got social and played with the toys and each other.
The entire process took about an hour and a half and when it was done Max had a passport, a visa, and all of the official paperwork he needs to come home.
After lunch and Max’ nap, we went for a stroll and sat in the park for a little while. I just gave Max his dinner and bath. Once he falls asleep I’ll pack everything up so we can come home tomorrow. I hope he is as ready to come home as I am!

Are you operating in some parallel dimension? And this really is you, this time, isn't it Chris? Or are you really the evil twin that somehow made a switch with the person we really know? This processing you are experiencing all seems to be turning out far too smoothly for it to be you. Okay, poor humour, but it is all I can provide at the moment. Same as always, though.
Here's hoping that the next 36 hours flies by without a hint of a hitch and that you are back in your own home before you know it. Then life can really begin for both of you.
(What do you plan to do with all of your free time?).
And I do hope for a higher standard for a successful trip than you seem willing to accept - take-off, in-flight and subsequent landing. And sleep/silence for both of you throughout, of course.
Fingers crossed. All the best.
