POE / X-Ray / Goodbye UK!

[Furious Biscuit 0]

I'm sorry if this has been asked here already.. I did look through the forum for it but I'm tired and stressy and may have missed it..

Is it 10000% OK to keep your x-ray in your checked luggage? The guy at the interview told me they wouldn't let me into the US without it, but nobody here (that I've seen) has reported handing it over at point of entry.. and as many of you know it's huge and near impossible to fit into carry-on luggage. I could certainly do without carrying it around.

I'm off tomorrow (Monday) to make the 3000ish mile leap across the pond.. I'm so nervous yet so excited. Thank you for all the help and support I've been given on here. Couldn't have made it this far without VJ, no doubt.

Next stop....... AOS

I've yet to hear from anyone who was asked for the x-ray at POE. I couldn't be bothered carrying mine and put it in my checked luggage.

It is pretty amazing. I know I'll never need it again but something's stopping me from getting rid of it, I kind of like it.

[mr and mrs 187]

ill always keep mine. and i hope jamie gets to keep his so we have a matching set. awww. <3

biscuit, are you sad to be leaving? (im sure but i wonder if the excitement it outweighing the sadness.)

biscuit, are you sad to be leaving? (im sure but i wonder if the excitement it outweighing the sadness.)

In honesty.. no, I've always been so miserable in England, I'm not massively close to my family.. sans my mum who will keep in contact, I've been so happy in America with my boyfriend and I just can't wait to be gone

Agh I sound so bitter and cold

no, you sound a lot like my boyfriend. he would have said a very similar thing. : ) you sound normal.

when i left america, though only for a year or two, i wasnt that sad. (i know its not the same, but..) what i was a little sad about was leaving my old life. my apartment and my routines and the casualness of knowing a place so well. that is what i mourned when i left. jamie doesnt have the sentimentality about his life as it is at the moment.

im excited for you. : )

Ridiculously exciting! Bon voyage FB! Didn't realise you were heading to Baltimore (is that where you'll be or onward flight from there?) Been there a few times and loved it, we will be just 'down the road' near DC/NoVA. Good luck!

Safe Flight

Good luck with your new life

Message me when you get there so I know you arrived safe
