The Mountain of Paperwork!

How many different pieces of paper and photocopies of records does one need to get into such a tiny country!?!?  Here's a list of all the papers I have collected and will need to bring into Kuwait with me (so far....the list keeps growing!):

- passport     - teaching certification

- birth certificate - police record check and clearance

- university degree - HIV, HEP B & C blood test results

- university transcripts - doctor report on health clearance

- college transcripts - official ACA letter of employment

- stamped letter of verification - official Kuwait issued work visa

- blood type card - various other Kuwait Embassy issued documents

Needless to say, it has been a very busy Spring trying to collect and track down all these different things!  However, all this work is totally worth it as I am in great need of an adventure overseas in a foreign land.
