Visas in the mail

Last night and this morning Lora finished up all the application paperwork for our travel visas and I sent them off to a courier service named "Assistant Stork" with our passports, applications for visas, and of course, money for the chinese embassy and the courier. It's a great time to visit the Post Office and I highly recommend it. You have a lot of time to get to know other people just hanging out, standing in line, and enjoying the ambiance.

It is a little bit disconcerting just sticking your passport in a mailer and hoping it makes it. Apparently they are worth a lot of money in todays identity theft climate. Sure there is tracking, but so what if the tracking tells you it made it and nobody knows where it is. Yes they are replaceable, but again, that isn't real feasible given the short time frame.

Nothing to worry about, but a thought non-the-less.
