And so the flight was uneventful and I made it without a problem.
elvnsword got an extended lunch and that was nice. The house was not a wreck and that made me happy. There's still quite a bit of cleaning to be done, but that's no different than the state it was in before I left.
BAD NEWS: Apparently there was a limit on the amount of time a car could be left at the shipping point before it become declared abandoned. Apparently, the SOP is to pick it up within 20 days of it reaching the country. This would have been lovely to know. Instead, we were told that we had up to a year to pick up the car and thus
elvnsword was not allowed to take the driver's license test for any of those crucial weeks. I repeat, any of those weeks. I, consequently, was not able to do so either because of various other obligations and appointments. We weren't concerned however, as we had been assured that the car would be fine and waiting on us. I have to call the government agent tomorrow and try to stop the process of declaring my car abandoned. Both my husband and I have missed the driver's licensing test this week due to my travelling back to Germany. We have to wait until next Tuesday. Obviously, we are going to do everything in our power to pass that test....but this is ridiculous!! The information we received was GROSSLY inaccurate and the notice that the car was in country did not include the information on the 20 day limit. I'm so angry right now I could spit.
