Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	Hey Stella The yanks dont care about international licenses at all really, I've been pulled up once in the city and once in the sticks and no probs. THe theory is that you should normally get a local one after 3 months inside Oz but over here you cant legally get one until you have a SSN which means several months for many of us, so no rush! Stick with your Oz one while you can, always helps with getting out of fines ! ;-) They say that (in Cali anyways) once you have a job/SSN you are required to get a Cali license within 10 days, kinda strict but who knows with Missouri. ciao spike Hi all, Just a question for the future about driving licence, when I get to the US. Before I went there last year I got me one of those International Drivers Licences, but Fiance (ex-cop) says I should be fine on just my Aussy Drivers Licence untill I am able to go for a US one. The international ones only last a year so I will have to get another before I leave if needed. Of course we are trying to think of all ways to save expenditures so does anyone have any tips here? We will be living in Missouri. Thanks Stella.	spikeheather	Not Telling	Australia	2006-03-10 18:05:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	Yeah thank for helping her Kath- HIFX worked great as I originally mentioned. Just sorted out my shipment- got stung on this end, I used an unaccompanied excess baggage company who said there would be a ~$20 fee on this end to get the goods. It turns out to be $35US, no probs, but they didnt bother to mention that if the items are valued over $200 I have to use a Customs Broker, the b@stards, so there's another $125, thanks for that! Grrrr.... Apart from that, just enjoying the lovely Bay Area weather, not bad for winter!!! 77 degrees in Oakland this week, sweeet! spike	spikeheather	Not Telling	Australia	2006-02-10 19:25:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	Hey all finally made it to US soil and back with my lady!!! Cheekily tried to talk the customs guy into handing out an EAD but no luck, surprise, surprise! Now wedding planning and finding accomodation for the two of us, so much fun! End enjoying my enforced holiday! My thesis supervisor didn't grade it before I left so have to complete the edits from here, real pain in the butt. ciao gang spike	spikeheather	Not Telling	Australia	2006-02-06 14:35:00
