Glad you have some sunshine Fran, we turned out OK today.
Well I spent 4 hours today taking the cat to the vet then drop him off at home go to the USDA, then back to the vet and finally back to the USDA, at least we have his paperwork done for a EU entry. Oh and we did get a signed lease on the property we bought last month, takes a while as they do credit check and a background check on the potential renter.
