So, big news! Our visa issuance numbers have come through. We had been hoping to get them before we left for our trip since Ellen lives about 30 seconds from an ancillary Korean Consulate office, but instead we received the much anticipated email mid way through our Philly Cheesesteaks in downtown Philadelphia. Looks like our tour of the Eastern seaboard has now become a business trip. Does that mean we can claim it on our taxes? Updates on our interview at the consulate in NYC to follow.
