To New York City for Visa

Because we live in Pennsylvania, we had to go to NYC for visas. We decided to go by train from Harrisburg. Left on Sunday morning December 11th and the train trip was great. Checked in to Fairfield Inn & Suites on 37th Street, about two blocks from the Polish Embassy. Walked to TKTS and got tickets to Memphis (50% off). Had a great dinner and a good nights sleep. Got up Monday morning to visit the Polish Embassy. Was very easy process and the lady who processed our paperwork was terrific. In fact we had so much time before our train back we did the tourist thing - Rockerfellow Center just before Christmas -- pictures and all!

Got the train back to Harrisburg and about an hour into the trip I received a phone call from the Embassy -- we forgot to leave our Passports (who knew??). I told the lady I would mail them tomorrow (December 13th) Priority Mail. Sent them Priority Mail on December 13th. They did not arrive in NYC until December 20th and were not delivered until December 23rd. The Polish Embassy must have learned from out experience because they returned them by Fed-Ex. on January 9th.

Can't wait for the air travel adventure.
