Consulate Phone Call

September 19th
So today we were driving to LA for our cruise and the closer it got to 9 the more nervous I got. It was awful! Ugh. Finally it was almost 9 and I realized I hadn't written down the phone number! Jesus. So I called Donny and he looked it up online for me. Then I tried to call but didn't have service so Bobby pulled over at the next town which wasn't far. I called and called and could not get through but I kept trying and finally I did. I talked to a woman named Ragaela who was actually very helpful. The gave me some great answers, but did say the thing about the census. Damn. So then Bobby called because it was his turn. He also got Rafaela and he told her he was my husband and he just had some more questions about the census. She was super helpful and did not make it sound black or white. She said the 1930 census would probably be fine and to go ahead and bring in the 1920 census anyway and to even bring in the boat records. It was a great conversation. We felt like we were on top of the world afterwards and what better way to celebrate than to take a cruise! Now we just have to order the census docs and print out the boat records....
