Might be good to remind every body about some basic ground rules about letters and packages.

If it does NOT have your name on it DON'T open it.

Ok, so the consulate called him back rpetty quick which I was surprised and told him to send it back to them and they would have it resealed and returned to him probably by Tuesday! :dancing: Soooo much better than what I was expecting!!! OMG thank goodness!!!

I told Ben next time he is confused a quick google search will answer his questions :whistle: I'm so glad it wasn't worse but I won't feel better til he is here in my arms lol

(BTW his dad didn't know how serious it was and neither did Ben so I can't blame anyone for it I was just really stressed out!!!!!)

Hey guys,

I am glad that you will be able to get your emergent issue resolved in a timely manner!!!! :wow:

Aww it's okay. Accidents happen all the time. Australia is a laid back place so I'm not surprised it's not a huge ordeal. Great that he can just mail it rather than going back in person. An express post envelope is HEAPS cheaper than a flight! :D
