Hmm, ok! Perhaps I'll kinda roll it around the inside edge of the hand luggage so it's not proper bent, per se.

Just booked my flight for next Thursday. Sorry for the running commentary, excited! ><

Visa just arrived!

I've got a feeling this has been asked before but my head is all over the place at the moment, trying to throw everything into cardboard boxes. Do I need to take this enormous x-ray in my hand luggage? I don't think it'd fit in my bag without bending.

If you have your medical on the same day as the interview and assuming all things being equal, does anyone reckon it's safe to book a flight for 2 weeks after the day of the interview?

Sounds good that things are improving, those floods look evil - where are you in Iowa?

I'm near Iowa City. They've finally opened up the major interstates, so traffic is slowly returning to normal star_smile.gif

Weedebz, those pictures are beautiful ^^

stay safe there in Iowa!

Fortunately the rivers are cresting and the water is slowly starting to recede. It's still a big mess though and the tap water is starting to smell a bit like dead fish and mud. At least everyone, so far, is ok though!
Hope everyone is having a good monday! smile.gif

I'm really warming to this Dublin idea, especially as the flight seems to be about 200 quid cheaper than going direct to Chicago.

It's so hard to plan anything, since things can be so up in the air and there are no gaurentes with this process.
Stu and I just decided to get married at the courthouse and have a BBQ/party not too long after that.
Maybe someday we'll renew our vows or something and have more of a wedding ceremony.
Vegas sounds like fun though.... devil.gif

I'm always looking for something new to read and am interested in your book, Robyn. Can I find it at a bookstore or online somewhere? I'd like to read it! smile.gif

Jeraly, I hope everything works out for you guys! I'm sure it'll be easier to deal with when you two are together. ^^ You'll be in my thoughts!

I feel like I've been running around like crazy trying to get everything together for the next step in this process >< At least everyone has been very helpfull so far! My supervisor even sent my letter of employment the same day I asked for it! She sent it via an e-mail scan though (in color and on company stationary) and I'm hoping that will be acceptable... unsure.gif

Damian has a lot of downloaded movies so he doesn't need any problems with customs on these. and the digital camera photos we have all backed up already. he's backing up some of his programs and other files he might want to keep. he usually just sends them royal mail. we've never had a problem before and we aren't in a hurry getting them here and royal mail is a lot cheaper.

Hmm yeah, I've got anime that I'd prefer to bring over but would probably be frowned upon by the powers that be. If you just bung them over via Royal Mail and say "CDs" on the customs sticker, that'd be enough for them to slip through the net?

I'd do that, but are customs likely to inspect cds (or dvds... I've got an awful lot of digital camera pics) when you mail them over with DHL or similar?
