are you traveling back before him??? CONGRATSS~
Nope. We're traveling back together. That's what my whole anxiety has been about.... I've been waiting for the visa so that I could go home !!! *whew*
We're looking into our tickets, (FIL might be able to get us first class tickets for a really good price through his bank, CIB ) and Mina is out today getting his army permission and international driver's license.
We went shopping last night at Khan El Khalili and I got some things to take back with me !!!
Thanks for all the well wishes and congrats, everybody. I know our journey for the visa may not have seemed so awful because we were together the whole time, but I felt lots of separation anxiety for MY COUNTRY and the first (and most difficult, some say) year of our marriage was spent in what I believe to be a more difficult country!!!

And, now it has all melted away. Thank God.
