the most important thing we had to do first, was ask our friend nel (who's been to the wyd events plenty of times) what we needed to do to get to the wyd next year. so a couple of weeks ago, we met to discuss all the things that needed to be done by the end of the year. according to him, we need to create a group (even if we're only two who's set to go), register ourselves and pay online. he said that it is not necessary for us to be affiliated with a church but it would be logistically better if we were in one. so kim decided that she'd be the one to ask her diocese for an affiliation. we also need a confirmation letter from the bishop that we would be joining the event. this document will be attached to our visa application next year. and that's it for now.
as for our other plan, nel asked us to make an itinerary that he could show his agent. that way, we can have a quotation on how much the airfare tickets will be. this is pretty important because we need to take care of our finances/budget, too. as you can see, the airfare will be more expensive than the actual registration fee for the wyd. since travel itinerary is my specialty, i offered to do this and would later send it to kim for confirmation and then to nel for him to send it to juanjo. crossing our fingers that it would not cost us too much! :)
planned itinerary to follow.
