TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL: D-MINUS 12


Road trip to Ottawa...  Meetings for Francois ... Gathering supplies and processing paperwork for our trip for me.




First on our agenda was to stop by the Ghana High Commission to request an entry visa.  Express processing requires relinquishing our passports but they promise to have everything ready within three business days (which will be D-minus 6).



Next, we dropped by the Kenya High Commission but as they will need our passports as well and there aren't enough days remaining, we will leave that bit until we arrive at the Nairobi airport next month.



Next, hotel check-in:


A very nice dinner at Johnny Farina:



....followed by a little meet and greet with some of the others.



Looks like it is to be a good bunch of guys.  Most have been to Ghana several times so I spent the evening picking their brains - lots of good information.
