Still waiting to depart . . .
Delayed in Natchez, Mississippi of all places! My daughter and I are supposed to leave from the New Orleans airport this afternoon, but our visas have not arrived from the Cameroon Embassy in D.C.! I found out there was a delay last Monday and have been working since then to get it straightened out. We were told the visas were sent overnight yesterday, but there is nothing here in the morning mail . . . so, on the phone with travel agent and waiting for the afternoon mail . . .
Hopefully, we can get out tomorrow before Hurricane Gustav hits and the airport closes!It's so sad that this area will suffer another hurricane, potentially a very powerful one. Hotels are full here in Natchez with people moving north to get out ahead of the storm, as we try to get across the ocean to Cameroon.More to come.
