It's 44 days until I leave for Florida and thought I'd finally get started with my blog, after my other posts being deleted.
On Wednesday I visited the US Embassy to gain my Visa. I traveled down from Leeds and arrived in London to be greeted by the downpour of rain. After queuing up for half an hour in the pouring rain I entered the embassy and only had to wait 20 minutes to be seen at the first desk. The man really made me panic, explaining that I had to read this book that I would be questioned on. This panic was really unnecessary as when I was seen for my interview the man just asked if I had read the book. Next to me a woman was being interviewed and I heard the dreaded words "I'm sorry I will not be granting you a Visa today", my heart stopped for her, but also I became even more worried those words would be repeated to me, but luckily the man looked at me with a lovely smile and said I had been granted a Visa and to have an amazing time but to make sure I would say Hi to Mickey for him, surely that is the least I could do as he is the reason I am allowed into the country! Amazing man!!
I'm returning to Jersey in under two weeks, so I need to make sure I have most of my shopping. I began buying a few bits last week, then this week bought some pieces in London and Southampton. Next week I'm going to the Trafford Centre and meeting with Rach in Liverpool. My clothes will definitely be from all over the country.
Trying to find luggage to take to Florida which is proving quite difficult. Never realised how expensive a suitcase was!
I promise when I get to Florida my posts will be a lot more regular!
