Accommodation - The Search Begins
Thursday, August 09, 2007
One month to go until the Eagles game.
Today I began the search for some type of long term accommodation. The serious search that is. I have been looking for a little while but nothing real serious. Today it’s note pad at the ready, phone calls at the set and emails to as many different places as I can.

Hiccup # 2- The Interview
Tuesday, July 31, 2007
Kelly and I set off quite early this morning to interview with the US Consulate for our visas. We do so without the boys as we’re not quite sure what we’re in for. For the first time in a longtime we travel by train which is something that neither of us are sure we’ll do again. It’s not so much the train service by the way as it is the getting to and from the train station. Anyway, as is not usually the case with me, we arrived with plenty of time to spare (thank you Kelly) which was good ‘cause what was in-store we soon realised, was going to take us the best part of the day.

Have We Got Everything?

Preparing for our interview tomorrow for the most part. I want to make sure we are completely covered. All paperwork, flight details, itinerary, bank statements, passports. You name it we’ve got it ready.

Beginning to Hate This Idea
Tuesday, July 24, 2007
I paid $11 this morning to talk with the US Consulate Visa Assistance Line for some advice as to what we could do re: the appointment issue. The phone call started a little something like this: “Hi welcome to the US Consulate Visa Assistance Line what type of Credit Card will you be using today?” She didn’t even ask me how i was or what the weather was like. I couldn’t help but think that if this was a date, i so wouldn’t have stayed for dessert.

Hiccup # 1 - Visas
Monday, July 23, 2007
We made an appointment (14 September) with the US Consulate to obtain our visas this morning after somewhat of a surprise. You see, we began planning our trip a little something like this: We’re taking a holiday, we’re Australian, Americans and Australians are friends, we’ll see you there when we like for as long as we like, what’s the big deal? Well, it turns out the big deal is you can’t just rock up to the USA and say “Hi we’re Australian and we’re going to stay a while” which I guess, in hindsight, probably makes sense.
