Greenville was the next stop after Seattle. I'd actually thought Greenville would be the final stop in this adventure. I thought I'd visit a few more places, but had anticipated coming back to Greenville. So much that I even started looking at homes in the area. I was 25 minutes away from family, 50 minutes away from the lake, and it seemed like the most logical landing place for me. When I recorded this video, I didn't know what was coming next. I'd begun to toss out the ideas of Florida next, but I didn't have a plan in place and felt a twinge of anxiousness. I wasn't nervous; I knew the plan would come together. But there were no next steps in place.
This story actually starts much earlier, but for the purposes of where I’m at today, we’ll start with Day 0 or Day 1 in Denmark. I might get around to telling you the full story at another point in time. Let’s see where this takes us. I wasn’t supposed to be on the plane August 7. Well, I was. But I wasn’t. It was a wild guess. An estimation of when I thought it might happen. I needed to buy a roundtrip ticket instead of one way after my last visit, and I projected out and decided August 7 would be a good day to fly back to Denmark, for good. For home. The paperwork was being completed on the US side, albeit very slowly, and I felt hopeful August 7 would still be in play. Then I visited the VFS office in Washington DC for my biometrics appointment on July 31. They took my passport. That wasn’t in the plans. I’d been told I didn’t have to give it to them. But they insisted. I told them I needed it for a flight on the 7th and they said “10–17 days is when you should expect it back.” Woo...
