So the plans have begun to crack at the seams...
I write this brokenhearted.
I discovered today that the heady mixture of darling wife's glorious birth certificate fiasco plus our paperwork processing time (getting visas at the consulate, etc) are probably going to preclude us from making the July flight we wanted to be on. This, in turn, raises all sorts of planning issues for the summer (darling wife ends her job in June, shipping times, job concerns) that may prevent us from making aliyah before the yom tov season next fall - which creates a massive headache in terms of finances in the interim.
As if this wasnt enough, my grandfather-in-law suffered an aneurysm, and is not doing very well in his recovery. Besides the hurt and concern we have for him, we were also originally planning on crashing by the grandparents when we landed, and finding an apartment from there. This is no longer feasible. Now we will have to fly to Israel and find an apartment to rent before we fly - and we cannot do so until we have an Aliyah date to rely on. Not to mention, pay for airfare, cellphone, etc.
Back to the drawing board.
Dreams are not realized easily...
