Missing Passport Delay

Hi all,

I made the mistake of sending my passport and return post as FedEx ground to the Ghanaian Embassy and my passport and Visa are now lost in the mail. FedEx is searching their places for me, but if they can't find anything, I will have to go to DC and reapply for a new passport and Visa. That might push back my arrival date. I'll update when I know for sure whether my current one is gone or not. Did anyone else have any issues?

Questions

1. how many long sleeved things do you think we need?

2. its the dry season so do we need a rain coat/ umbrella?

3. is anyone taking their laptop?

We should all have some time in London the morning of the 11th. Perhaps we should meet up and do a little exploring? I know we don't have long, but could spend a few hours in the city.

I have just booked Jason's flight. Here is his itinerary:

10 January 05:35 pm Depart Charlotte Continental Flt No 2092
07:29 pm Arrive Newark

09:20 pm Depart Newark Continental Flt No 110
11 January 09:25 am Arrive London Heathrow

02:50 pm Depart London Heathrow British Airways Flt No 81

The price just right around $1500.

Vayama.com has some good deals on the order of $1500 to $1800 (Depart on the 10th and return on the 17th). I think Nicole and I are going to choose one from there maybe tomorrow.
