It's A Christmas Miracle!

I woke up to a lovely surprise yesterday morning. After a night out with friends on Boxing Day, I savoured a sleep in and enjoyed relaxing for a short time- a necessity after the socialising, drinks and food-coma experienced over Christmas. Gradually waking up, I got up and checked my email and was quite surprised to see an email from Diana, my contact at the Embassy. She informed me that Bogotá had sent through confirmation that my visa had been authorised, and that Diana would send my passport back to me in the mail first thing Wednesday morning (which is today!) My Christmas miracle was granted. Now it's just up to Australia Post to send that Express Post Platinum envelope with 'Guaranteed next day delivery' back to me and the visa fiasco will be over. ¡Ojalá!

Update: I got the visa on December 29th- PHEW!
