LOL I know right? I think I'm just in hassle-overload :P My plane leaves at 10:50 AM on the 9th so I'm going to try to slip on in at about 7 AM or so. Think I should call to see what they say, or just show up? :)

You can still call. But 7am is perfect! That should be plenty of time to get through customs. Mine, albeit not at an airport, took about an hour.

Weirdness is that I think Winnipeg Airport locks the TSA area between flights. Going to have to do a covert ops merge-in with another flight. Lol. Yay!

So are you excited, with your 47 hours left? :)

Saylin i need to get a cell phone from here(USA).what id i need to show them to get it? I didn't get my green card yet.hubby is confusing me and insisting me to get it in his name which i dont want.Is it true that i need to deposit $500 to get a cell phone line?

Or just buy a Prepaid simcard like AT&T 60/mos Unlimited Call and txt, or you and your hubby can go together to the office where he open his account or any branch then open another line.

There is a big glass door from the check in counters and the security gate. When i dropped Trav off once, we were told we had to wait for them to open the gate before the flight. That may have been the first flight of the day so I could be thinking way wrong. It's all good either way - 7 AM should work :)

LOL...yeah, you are going to have such a good time! Bubble tea and poutine? :) Are you getting your hair done pink? :)

Oh, I understand now. And wow, really? In between flights? That's dumb... At Montreal, they open the TSA area like around 6am or so, and they stay open until the last flight of the night.

And yes, I'm thinking bubble tea either before or after my get together with Sheeshka. And I'm gonna have some poutine at some point while I'm there as I haven't had any in YEARS. I've got a list in my head of which restaurants I need to eat at laughing.gif

And I dunno about the pink hair. It's very expensive to get highlights done at the salon I go to (think $200-$300 and I don't really want to spend that much at the moment laughing.gif), plus, I just got a haircut today (just a trim). I think two salon visits within a week (albeit for different purposes) would be a lot. I might look into just buying bottles of pink and bleach and doing it myself. But the thought of somehow bleaching my own hair and putting color in terrifies me as I have no idea how to do that laughing.gif We'll see...

See, that's how it used to be. It may be still. I usually get Trav out on the first flight of the day so i can still work after he leaves (keeps my mind off the fact that he's gone), so I have NO clue! LOL...they may still do that.

LOL that's awesome...it's so weird, we were looking at pics of Montreal last night and both were like, "I really miss that place." He fell in love with Chinatown, LOL...

Aww, well, you may be right about the visits and you're DEFINITELY right about the price (although it would be pretty sweet!). Yeah, be careful with that bleach! My sister did it once and yeah, I know she did something wrong but her hair STILL fell out...it was funny but sad all at once... :hehe:

Maybe you need to take a flight that's not the first one out and see their procedure and if it's changed or not :P

LOL that's awesome...it's so weird, we were looking at pics of Montreal last night and both were like, "I really miss that place." He fell in love with Chinatown, LOL...

laughing.gif Yeah, now that you and Sheeshka have been to Chinatown, I'm missing it too. Especially the bubble tea, which I'm so having next Monday at some point.

I definitely do miss my pink hair. Although, I think if I do anything, I'll start off with highlights, like I had a couple years ago. No one here in the US has seen me with pink hair, so it might be a little shocking laughing.gif Just highlights might be easier. I'd do them at the salon here, but the last time I got my hair done there, the color (black with purple highlights) only lasted a few weeks :( The salon I went to in Montreal, the highlights (I've had purple, blue, and pink in the past, all at separate times) lasted MONTHS! So, I definitely got my money's worth there. I might still get it done, I don't know. I really really miss having color in my hair laughing.gif

I've been trying to install my MagicJack on the other computers in the house. Then I found out that many others have had problems installing MJ on Windows7. Too bad I can't understand computer techy terms, so I can't make it work. Then I tried on another computer which has Vista, but still nothing. I can't call using our home phone because it's limited to domestic calls, and my cellphone can't call internationally either because the bill's overdue. And it's hard to reach my husband now that I don't have my own computer (so hard to get my brothers' asses off their games) and you know, my husband doesn't have that much initiative to call. I have to prompt him everytime.

Everything's going against me. This must mean we have our case completes already. LOL

I'm think your case is completed too because we sent our package the same day as you did and our case has been completed today. Good news may be waiting for you so let your husband call NVC. Good luck
