 Hey all we finally got all our stuff. I took an 8 hour bus trip to Chennei, 2 hours in customs, 4 hours waiting to get my passport back followed by another 8 hour bus trip home but in the end we got it all through. Looks like most of it survived. We'll see. The guys we hired to Unload the truck were rolling boxes up the stairs earlier so there is no telling how much is broken we'll find out tonight when we open it all.
     Ok shameless plug because I promised I would http://www.atozlogistics.net/ was incredible. They took care of everything for us. Sheparding me through customs pushing through the paperwork even making sure I got to and from the bus station. I highly recommend them for shipping to India.
     For those keeping up on Manny. SHe's doing fine. Her husband deposited about $25 last week. He didn't however add anything to that this week. He agreed to deposit about $10 per week into savings as long as Manny stayed with us. We'll see how it goes next week.
     No word on our paperwork for the orphanage. Actually I guess we are stalling. I have to take a look at finances tonight and see what we have left. It's $250 to get the orphanage registered. I'm not sure what we have left after paying for customs shipping etc. Hopefully we'll be able to get our registration done this month otherwise we'll have to wait
till next month.
