Last minute departure

It's a couple weeks later, but we'll try and document for the 2.5 interested people what we've been up to lately. Let's start from the top.

Random friend (RF) circa September 11: When are you leaving?
Us: Um. Probably in 4 days.
RF: What do you mean "probably"?
Us: Well, we got our visas yesterday, so the 15th feels good.
RF: ....

I probably had about 30 of these conversations. At first I thought this wasn't a big deal, but everyone's consistent reaction made me nervous. Needless to say, the last week before our departure was a stressful scramble. We didn't get our visas until Friday. Sunday I got in touch with the kiwis to buy us tickets (they wouldn't buy them until we had visas). Monday we had tickets. Wednesday we left.
