So we arrived at the airport late Saturday evening ready to depart on our epic 24 hour journey only to be told by the check-in dude that we cannot fly cos our plane is due to stop in LA for an hour and it’s now law that South Africans require a Transit Visa for the US.

Fucken balls!

So Monday arrives and we go to the US consulate to get the visa so we can be on the Monday night flight. No luck. You have to make an appointment to see an immigration officer at the US consulate. The next available appointment is 11th January…so needless to say we have to get a completely new ticket that doesn’t go through LA. We were lucky to have Amanda’s mother to help us convince the travel agent to change the tickets without any extra charge. Score.

So now here I am coming at you live from a flat in North London. Its about 2°C and overcast at the moment. There’s no denying the fact that we’ve finally in London!

   I bet number one job when you get home is a Kiwi passport? Oh yeah, dealing with NZ govt, immigration and internal affairs all over again! Wahoo!
