I sent my application for my tourist Visa for Ghana last week, the embassy in Washington D.C. got it Monday and I got it back in the mail today!! 4 days turn around, how sweet is that?? Wow, had no idea that they'd get it back to me so quick! Now if we can just get the K1 visa processed that quick when we prepare to bring him here!!! LOL!!! So excited to be going to Ghana for 3 weeks in October!!! I've been to Africa twice before, to Nigeria...I love everything about Africa and am so excited to be taking my 3rd trip soon!
