The day before we left for France I literally felt sick the whole day: Why am I doing this to my family? I don't even speak French. I'm not ready to go, my bags aren't packed. How am I going to do without this thing/that thing that I have to leave in Phoenix? I'd really rather just not leave everyone and my beautiful house. What if something goes wrong and we can't get to where we need to go? It's a long way from home. That very last day in the US, if I'd had the choice to just stay I probably would have canceled everything.<BR/><BR/>You're probably going to feel all of those things, and might even convince yourself that they're legitimate concerns. But they're not. You made the right decision to go to France and I'm incredibly excited for you and your upcoming experience. <BR/><BR/>So when you go through things before you leave, remember that you made the right decision and it's time to do it. Just go with it. We're rooting for you!The Golf Club at Johnson Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491519887335969288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6721914722175517207.post-70279831499268243302008-02-10T17:04:00.000+01:002008-02-10T17:04:00.000+01:00Hi there Telfers: I'm Dave, husband of Stasha, who...Hi there Telfers: I'm Dave, husband of Stasha, who writes the blog "La Vie Echangee". Regarding your visas, my advice to you is not to worry, just keep making your plans to come to France and your visas will come before you leave. You still have a week. They'll most likely come. And if they don't, who cares? You're allowed to be in France for three months without a visa, and no one will give you a hard time when you arrive if you don't have them. You're not breaking any laws by being here, and they won't check to see if you have a return flight. The "Doanes" only look at your passports. You have nothing to worry about, so I hope you won't concern yourself with it. You did everything you could do and now they need to do their job. <BR/><BR/>Are you flying into Nice airport, or Geneva? If you're flying into Nice, let me know if there's anything I can do to help you. We live 25 mins from the airport and right now it's "vacance" in France, so we're not busy.The Golf Club at Johnson Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491519887335969288noreply@blogger.com
