I AM GOING TO JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a message at 11 AM this morning from Manna from the Jordan embassy that I got my approval. I ran all the way to the parking lot and continued to speed to the embassy. After ten minutes' wait, she came out and flashed my passport with a huge smile and said "here is your visa!" I jumped up and asked her if I could give her a hug. I gave her a heart-felt bear hug. She wished me a wonderful trip and I promised that I would appreciate Jordan. How could I not after eight and half weeks after I have given up hope?! Tonight I leave. I am still in shock - I just got my visa hours before my trip!

So here I come, Jordan.
