12 days until I leave for Chile and..... last night I learned that my passport, visa, and birth certificate, among other things, were accidentally thrown away by someone (cough*MOM*.)
Soooo now I have 12 days to conquer the vast bureacracy that is the Vital Statistics office (for my birth certificate, which will take 2-3 days plus one day for shipping... to print out a piece of paper.. really?,) the San Francisco Passport Agency (who are elusive and don't even post a phone number) and the Chilean Consulate in San Fransisco (who are very nice but do not speak very good English. For example when asked: "What do I need to get a new copy of my visa?" they reply "your passport and the visa with the problema." When asked to clarify exactly what I will need, since I clearly do not have the 'visa with the problema' the response I got was "Your passport and anything else", .????.......)
So that is pretty much where I'm at right now. 13 days seemed like forever to wait but now 12 days does not seem like enough. Garrr!
