Paperwork....

There is a lot of it. A ton. It helps that my darling wife is trinational, including being technically israeli already, and the wonderful israeli need for mountains of paperwork to feed its burgeoning and bludgeoning bureaucracy. I have photocopied hundreds of papers, faxed tons more, went searching for papers that I didn't know existed, and faxed a few more. We're making headway - we may even finish sometime before our flight leaves, assuming we can make it on. Anyone who knows about getting apostilles on foreign documents, let me know!

We have also begun to try planning our move. Thank you Nefesh B'Nefesh, the flight and initial paperwork is free, thank G-d. The choices of what to do with our furniture (ship or sell and buy there), which items to keep and which to throw away/sell,
health insurance HMO to choose (which depends where we choose to settle), ulpans, daycare/gan for shoshana....the questions are daunting. Financially planning this move has not been any easier.

I have begun listening to galgalatz on the iPad, as well as read Yisrael Hayom and ynet in Hebrew in an effort to try to learn some new vocabulary.

So this is where we're holding for now....
