Got it...


The visa appointment went smooth and they awarded me a 10 year multi entry visa. Lol, they must have liked my face.

The process is quite smooth and I was impressed with the professional service received at the consulate.

I also got my International Driving Permit and it allows me to drive anywhere in the US.

My ticket to the USA is confirmed and I will be leaving August 24th and arrive on the 25th. I cannot say that I am looking forward to the 25 hour trip but the excitement overrides all lol. I only have short layover of about 4 hours in Atlanta, which is convenient just to refresh and stretch some lol.

From there it is on to Wisconsin and Tom.

It is a relieve now that things are in the final stages, lol only a few last to do lists to draw up. All the bon voyage parties have been organized.

I was quite surprised at the restrictions on carry-on baggage. I thought it would be weapons and stuff, and of course scissors and sharp objects. Unfortunately it is also on liquids, which includes creams and gels. YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED A TOTAL OF 3 OZ. I am still trying to figure it out, on a 25 hour flight, what is it that you cannot go without, your toothpaste, your facial cream or deodorant. Lol now to figure out how much 3oz is in ml.

Now, another main concern is the shower facilities at Atlanta airport. Europe is quite well organized and their facilities are well kept and easy to access. Any tips on Atlanta airport?

Hi there, just had to pop in to say hi.

Lol Wendy, no offence taken, was actually in my thoughts too, people may think I am playing chicken on the wrong side of the road.

Hmm about the back up plan, not really in place, will have to work on it.

Tom is not on BC, lol, unless he is in disguise. You never know. That is actually an excellent idea. Pre-approval by friends, could help out a girl that is thousands of miles away.

We should set up a panel for the next round of blind dates, pre-inspection, wow, now we could have all the fun first.
