Another bump in the road...

Our journey so far has been filled with highs and lows. We knew this was part of the process when we started, but the closer we get, the harder it is to deal with the delays. We received notice yesterday that the government of Kazakhstan is currently doing a formal review of all agencies and files to ensure that post placement reports are being filed as required. For us, this means that Letter of Invitation activity has been placed on hold for an unknown period of time. It's beyond frustrating for us - that's the last thing we're waiting for, and now our hope for travelling in February/March is unlikely. We're trying to look on the bright side - the warmer the weather is when we travel, the easier packing should be - light shirts and shoes vs parkas and boots - it will probably work out for the best. So that's where we are now - just continuing to wait.
