John just headed to work, probably will be a half day today.
The US government approved an "Authorized Evacuation" for us last night, meaning it's voluntary. Yesterday, John bought airline tickets for the kids and I...for security reasons, I won't say for which day but they're arranged. We have some time to decide if we're going but I'm leaving the final decision wholly in John's hands.
The attache families have an awesome resource for evacuation coordination back in DC. The lead lady was at the conference I was at in Tucson last month. The world we live in has provided her with a lot of experience bringing home families from around the planet and looking after them. If we do decide to return to the US, it is a minimum stay of 30 days. The government gives us money for housing and rental cars, after 30 days that amount drops significantly (annoying) but we're certainly hoping things will be much calmer here in a month. My concern is mostly on the return option. I'd hate to be gone from here more than 30 days, I wish it could be less.
So, that's how it stands. I've decided to continue unpacking our shipment from Thursday, there's not much left to unpack anyway!
