I had to send my passport off by courier to Montreal yesterday, not something I felt too comfortable doing with only 8 days left until I leave. But we need special visas in Cuba and although they had authorized them last month already, nobody in Canada could find them. With three embassy offices in Canada the least likely one was in Montreal but after sweating bullets for a few days I phoned Montreal and sure enough that's where they were. So I am expecting my passport back by the end of this week or else there'll be trouble. The neat thing is I can track it online once it leaves the embassy in Montreal.
The instruments are still sitting in the living room but they should get picked up tomorrow. They will be stored at a church in Toronto until we can arrange the flight to Havana.
