• Who knew you needed a visa to travel to Australia

    Not us. We arrived at the airport and upon checking in we were asked if we got our visas. NOPE. They wouldn’t let us fly without it. So we busted out the laptop (which was a last minute decision to bring) and began googling and calling consulates. Melinda spent about 45 minutes filling out forms online and I called the New Zealand consulate. Luckily we didn’t need a visa for New Zealand, but we will see when we get there. Fingers crossed. It’s amazing how fast things work. We clicked submit and went back to the ticket counter and we were cleared. Next stop is Dallas, then off to Sydney.
