Visa update

I just heard from Sally, the HR person at CSIRO. Evidently Judi's Xrays were not accompanied by the necessary clearance papers - probably meaning that the radiologist did not fill the form out correctly. Hence the Immigration guy couldn't approve the Visa. Instead he had to send off the Xray to the Local Clearance Unit (LCU - see it all makes sense, right?) to be Clearance'd. There is a minimum 48 hour turnaround on that so we have to wait until Wednesday morning (Australian time) before any possible change could occur. I'm not holding my breath.

Meanwhile, we're off tomorrow to Kauai for a week's vacation. The best time to take a vacation is when you have no job and no home so off we go. We're staying at the Courtyard by Marriott Kauai at Waipouli Beach. We'd normally choose something more 'umble but we need the wireless internet.

Another advantage of this timeout/vacation is that it gives the Aussies more freedom to dick around without driving us crazy.
