finally, stress reduced

had to go to the Fed Ex office and pick up my passport. they don't deliver if it hasn't cleared customs by 8 a.m. so the whole time I was watching the tracking number and hoping it would finish clearing so I would get it by noon was just an exercise in futility. when I finally called them, they said I could pick it up. took another 4 hours for them to get the envelope then took me 30 minutes to get directions from the computer (google maps crashed explorer 5 times on my laptop and finally went to another computer to get directions), drove over and got it. the Uzbekistan visa is very nice looking
