Thanks Ryan!

RMac managed to save me from having one the most embarrassing conversations of my life. I think it would have gone something like this:

Brazilian Customs Agent (BCA): Hello. Passport and visa please.
Me: You need a visa to travel in Brazil?
BCA: Yes
Me: Oh, I don't have one.
BCA: Then you can't enter the country
Me: When's the next flight back to Vancouver?

Thankfully Rmac gave me the heads up on the Visa three days before I was set to leave. I had to postpone my trip by two weeks to get it but everything turned out really well. I got to spend two more weeks in Vancouver hanging out with my family and friends. It also gave me two more weeks to rekindle my desire to move back to Vancouver when I'm finished school.

Now I'm sitting in the airport lounge getting ready for the red-eye flight to New York. From there it's on to Brazil!
