Whilst you are all sound asleep...

My hostel offers free internet ~ so on that note, I am making a post from x thousands miles away or so! :-D

This on the first understanding that I nearly thought it all over before it even started... A thought that cropped up as I was hauled out of the check-in queue by Delta airlines staff as it materialised that I had not done an ESTA. Which they ( Read more... )

wow, you've no idea how envious I am right now! :-) glad to hear its going well for you so far (despite the luggage and arrival issues), hope the rest of your stay is just as fun.

It's been very good... but day of the dead was a tad disappointing to be honest - will catch up with a post on that as soon as I can (since I know many were curious about it).

Fantastic!

I was lucky. :-)

Glad to hear you are alright and enjoying yourself.

Had a slightly hairy time on the day of the dead night - but otherwise all's been really good! :-)

I did fill in the ETSA form, and it still took 2 hours and two separate interrogations by officials of the Department Of Home-Grown Insecurity before they let me into the USA.

Frankly, I would've been quite happy to be turned away on this occasion, since aside from visits to my wife's Grandmother (in which I play the part of Nice British Chap In The Background) I've mostly been sitting in a motel going quietly out of my mind.

Glad you're having an interesting time. Every day is the day of the dead in Westport, Connecticut!

That's because you're a dodgy looking goth, ha ha! I remember how they hand picked me out of the LA check-in queue (back in the nineties) with saucer eyes (clearly expecting some sort of jackpot when going through my luggage). Because clearly I would demonstrate my evil intentions by wearing all over black....

If it makes you feel better in your motel, the day of the dead proved a little bit of a disappointment ~ I hope to catch up with that in a day or two.
