Woohoo! Approved for UK citizenship!

Received a letter today from the Home Office telling me I have been approved for citizenship. That was lightning fast! Next I will be invited to a ceremony where they will present me with my certificate, which will enable me to apply for a UK passport.

Now....hoping my US passport hasn't been lost in the process of renewal!

When everything is done, packed, sorted and I have a Uganda (or elsewhere) visa in my UK passport I'll be able to breathe easier.

Uganda?

Our placement may be Uganda. More details after confirmation. Stay tuned.

Busy preparing, but alas, no country yet

No offers of a country yet.

This week:

• submitted my application for UK citizenship
• posted my US passport for renewal
• will go to hospital at suggestion of our dentist to have a complete radiograph of our entire mouth to be sure nothing will be causing future problems
• doctor for our physicals and form filling
• should be setting up appointments for nurse to draw blood and start our jags
• research on letting our house out privately
• discovered yet another country I'd love to get posted to: Tanzania - near the sea
• reading the detailed course description for P2V (Preparing to Volunteer) which we're booked for the end of the month. I will also be attending the Health and Security course. As a non-volunteer this is all I need to attend course-wise. D will have professional courses.

Whew! I need a nap!

No worrys readers! When we take the courses I will give a description - this will interest other future volunteers. As for everyone wanting to read about adventure, I'm afraid it's still a few months away.
