We were completely on our own last year ... for the 6 weeks it took us to get our I600 approval. We didn't even get any type of travel prep. information. We just flew to Ghana, picked up our children, and said, "What next?" to each other.<br /><br />My husband does NOT "do" heights, but he did enjoy the Kakum swinging bridges. It is BEAUTIFUL there. The Cape Coast Castles are such an important part of our children's history, we felt it was very good to take the tour there.<br /><br />In case you don't know ... "biscuits" are a type of snack cracker, not the type of bread we eat with dinner.<br /><br />Your list is much better than the one we got before traveling. Our son Jacob told us he was excited to come to America so that he could have his own "computer, cell phone, toys that talk, etc..." Nope ... didn't happen.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />mama of 13Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643283867873567400.post-34415928444269670412009-05-31T08:32:33.920-05:002009-05-31T08:32:33.920-05:00So exciting!

Nope, could not do it. Came dangerously close one day, until I went in and saw how many folks before me had apparently missed. Nope. No dice. Ol' muscles got a work out that day, but I made it. :)<br /><br />I know, such a weird thing to be proud of, considering all I experienced for those 16 days.

Then I saw the comment...oops!<br /><br />It was very helpful and I also loved the section that addressed what we should bring with us. Good job, Anita!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636090312363043206noreply@blogger.com
