Back in Colorado

It’s now 45+ days since we left Bologna. And 1 day since we left Türkiye.

An uneventful domestic flight from İzmir to İstanbul + an uneventful long haul flight from İstanbul to Denver + an uneventful drive from Denver to Colorado Springs.

That’s what it took to bring us home yesterday.

A good night’s rest and this morning we woke up to a glorious sunrise.

Back in September, we requested appointments from the Italian Consulate to submit our Elective Residence Visas (ERVs). Those appointments — for 8 January — were confirmed on 29 December.

Considering its winter and Colorado falls under the jurisdiction of the Italian Consulate in Chicago, we’ll be flying out for our appointment a few days early … on the 6th of January.

That means we have a week to prepare our ERV packages. The good news is that Mui has all the documents we need, so it’s just a matter of making copies and organizing them for submission.

In the meantime, I need to unpack our luggage so we can pack again for our trip to Chicago.Baca lagi
