I got my visa today!

So, after the Czech consulate held my and Emily's passports hostage for almost two months (it was about two days short of their sixty-day timeframe) we finally got the calls yesterday that told us that our visas were actually ready. The first time they called, I thought it was a telemarketer and kind of hung up on them, but they called me back, so this morning I headed into the city and picked up both of our visas. I was a little nervous, because they had told me to bring my health insurance forms again, but apparently everything had worked out, and now I have a visa and can officially go and hang out in Prague for four months without having to abuse the loophole in the law that says you can stay in the country for more than a month (the amount of time you're allowed to be there without a visa) as long as you leave the country at one point each month and come back. I don't want to have to explain anything like that to customs officials on my way in. But I have my visa, and I'm almost set to go (I just need to get my new plane ticket,) so I'm very excited.

Also, any travel suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
