Dar Es Salaam prefix...

We were suppose to start this adventure together! The timing was a bit off for us. Andrew and I rushed to send my application to remain in the UK before my current visa expired on December 31st, 2012. We submitted the information on the 24th once we chased up our marriage licence, birth certificates and bank statements. We were not allowed to submit the application before 30 days of my expiration date. The Border Agency states that a turn around time for approving my visa is within 6 months. Andrew was offered his job two weeks later. He received his passport back after calls to his local MP (elected official). Andrew left without me in mid February. He started sending me pictures of the Indian Ocean and the pool at our apartment complex. I had to let him know that I was happy for him but we still have snow and mud in the UK so please stop! Fast forward to March 15th and my passport arrived so booked my flight right away. Before we made our trip we had to spend over 650 pounds on shots and malaria tablets from a travel cost. It was a huge expense but worth a sense of security.
