Potential Problem

Even though the embassy says that we do have an appointment on the 21st, the embassy still has not provided our lawyer with our pink slip. The pink slip is your 'pass' into the embassy on your appointment date. So the embassy says they expect us, but without a pink slip, the guards will not let us in the building.

Monday is a holiday and the embassy is closed. Tuesday our lawyer will bring a copy of the email the embassy sent to us and try to straighten it out.

Whats can happen: The embassy will give our lawyer the pink slip on Tuesday and all is well.
Or our appointment gets delayed and we have to stay in Guatemala and wait for our appointment. Or I stay and Ricky returns home until the problem is cleared.

I am hopeful this will work itself out but it is like a black cloud hanging over our heads. I am trying to focus on the fact that on Tuesday we are reunited with Gavin and we (or at least me) won't be leaving until he is can board a plane. And that is certainly enough.
