Left England 10 minutes late, going to Seattle via Copenhagen, got to Copenhagen was told the plane to Seattle was going to be 3 hours late through technical difficulties. Left Copenhagen at around 6:40pm. Arrived in Seattle at around 7:30pm. Went to the line that was for visitors, not much of a wait, went up to the officer and had my index finger x-rayed and then a picture taken, was told to go upto the end cubical to see another officer. Went to the cubical and waited, soon it was my turn, before I could say anything the officer stepped back, FARTED, then stepped forward again, well I burst out laughing, it was sooo comical, he did say sorry but I dont know who was redder him or me. This as you can imagine relaxed me, he asked a couple of questions and that was basically it. It is a long walk through Seatac airport and a short train ride to the main terminal. Everyone was very nice and at no point was any of this a strain. So now i'm with my fiance.

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"
