Thanks all for letting me vent. It's just a pain in the butt living here.
Hubby has decided tho, that we should at least TRY to get her a license before we leave. I called DMV and talked to 3 different people and they said that once she has the DEFINITE PERMANENT license, then yes, that could be transferred over to a stateside license. It's just the interim license that cannot be transferred.
I had to make 3 different phone calls and I was lucky to get 3 different people.
So.....hopefully, we CAN get her a license before we leave, but we are also going to look into the moped too.
