Getting Closer
We have had a few busy days lately. I finished up work yesterday so that we can really concentrate on getting everything done that has to be done before we take off - Friday week and we are going flying - woohoo!!
Today we went to the US Consulate office in Auckland for our visa application interview. We have to have a visa because we are going for longer than 3months. What a lot of security and stuff you have to go through to get a visa. We bribed the boys with a fate worse than death if they dared to start fighting with each other and it worked, they were very well behaved. We were pretty confident of getting the visas sorted but when the women in front of us was denied my tummy did a few nervous flips. We must have looked pretty genuine though because the guy issuing our visa mentioned that it was valid for 6months and that if we liked the place and wanted to stay longer we could just pop over to Canada for a couple of nights and get another 6months on re-entry.
Awesome - America here we come!
