Dodging Bullets

Well i just dodged a bullet.

My visa appointment was last week and i figured that it would be a while before my passport was sent back because of all the bank holidays and everything, so didn't worry too much that it hadn't arrived yet.  

My phone has been dead for a couple of days as i left the charger at my mums, but i figured i would just listen out for them when they came as our buzzer in the flat is pretty loud.

Last night, after ordering dominos and wondering why it hadn't arrived, i learned that our buzzer is broken and has been for a couple of days.  So i signed onto the tracking website for the visa to see that, yes, they had already attempted delivery. Oh dear.

i called up to re-schedule delivery and they said the next available date for delivery is Wednesday, which would be fine if i weren't flying over to Germany to visit my dad on Tuesday. This realization hit me about ten minutes ago and i panicked wondering how on earth i was going to get to Germany without my passport.

BUT, luckily, last time i was in Germany, my Dad registered me to get one of the National identification cards (Aussweis) that they have in Europe as i'm half German.  When travelling within Europe, you can use these as a passport alternative and so i will be able to catch my flight after all!  

Thank god for that.

My Bucket List in Pictures

Okay so maybe this is a little sad, but with only 26 days to go, my excitement drove me to do this.
My Bucket list page can be seen at the top of this page in one of the tabs, but i just made 'My Bucket List in Pictures' woop. Obviously i don't know any of these people as they are all from the lovely town of googleimagia - but they served the purpose.

Anyways here it is! :)

Everything i plan to do - you can click on it to see it bigger =)

Have a Magical Day!

Disney ICP Vlog 3 - US Embassy and London Meet

Embassy Appointment and London Meet-up.

Hellooooo,

it's been a while since my last post but not a lot of Disney stuff has happened lately until this week.
So on the 19th April i had my visa appointment at the US Embassy in London. i won't post a list of things you need as this has been pretty well covered by Suzie and various other bloggers. My appointment was at 11am and i was out of the embassy by 2:30, it was not too bad a wait and most of the people working there were pretty friendly and happy to help.

Also, don't be terrified about making mistakes on your application, yes - try to get it right but its not the end of the world if you make a small error. A friend of mine had his appointment on the same day - different job but the same kind of visa and he actually applied for the wrong type of visa entirely, put the wrong category and applied for B something instead of a J-1. They just told him to go to the internet cafe in Goulds Pharmacy (the place where you leave your bag) and change it and he came back half an hour later and continued with the appointment. So don't stress!

The next day was the Disney London Meet-up, it was a relatively small turnout but a really wonderful day! The weather was absolutely scorching, we sat in Regents park for a while and eventually went to Nando's for a really yummy lunch. Then frappe's in Starbucks and eventually a wander round Madame Tussauds (thank you to Julia who got us in for free!)

So thank you to everyone who came - it was so lovely to meet you and i'll be seeing you very soon in Florida!

Have a magical Day!
