We have ordered our visas and now starts the task of filling out the actual visa and invitation applications. Wow. Pretty daunting for people who loathe and despise paperwork. However, we have a plan; one application a day and we should be finished by our deadline and then send our passports off to England for The Visa Machine to work their magic in embassies hither and yon. 

Jim decided to use a British car buying service and he's in charge of getting that rolling. I decided I wanted a nice clear table to use as Rally HQ. Aren't I productive? We've ordered our copy of Lonely Planet's Central Asia and picked up in our local (Bookman in Orange, great shop) used book store guides to Turkey and Eastern Europe.

I am trying to figure out how to work a cocktail angle into the trip. I sent an email to all the US participants asking if anyone is packing an icemaker but I haven't heard back yet. I am thinking that might be a key thing to have along. Aside from that we really aren't planning on planning much. Â
