Wooah, that is a sweet story!!!

Where do you live in CA?

Ri, I live in Santa Cruz, about 2-hour drive south from San Francisco. We will later move closer to San Francisco. I see that you leave somewhere close to LA?

Hi we live in Rosamond its about 1h45min away from LA (sure it depends on the traffic but this is when you can keep driving! LOL)

Its always fun to see where people are and how close so i use google maps a lot ;-) LOL!

Are you more in the area with lots of fires? This year not to bad heh?

Peet, if i were you, I would everything pack in the carry on related to visa stuff.

And well we can pack like 18 kilo in a carry on? and like 23 in a suitcase?

Just bought a nice carry on with 4 wheels (american tourister) at Wallmart for a great price!!! I can't believe the prices for suitcases here and than in NL! I pay dollars here and in NL for the same item in euro!!

Oh and Liz, i emailed the lawyer and they are going to contact the embassy how it is lately. Because i know NL will not give your police certificate!!!

From what i heard from other people is that it goes automatic. So we will see.

I wanted mine to be my own decision and no influences on how it would look.

It is my second one also, first one is 15 years old, probably won't wait that long for #3 :whistle:

Love them Liz!

Good, I always think that you have to live with your tattoo, so you have to love it.

The two greyhounds are a design by Sarah Snavely who was very kind and gave me permission to use it, the knot comes from a hand made heavy silver bracelet that I choose when my son was born, it was designed by a dutch guy who, in my eyes makes the most beautiful silver jewelry.

Are you more in the area with lots of fires? This year not to bad heh?

Peet, if i were you, I would everything pack in the carry on related to visa stuff.

And well we can pack like 18 kilo in a carry on? and like 23 in a suitcase?

Just bought a nice carry on with 4 wheels (american tourister) at Wallmart for a great price!!! I can't believe the prices for suitcases here and than in NL! I pay dollars here and in NL for the same item in euro!!

Oh and Liz, i emailed the lawyer and they are going to contact the embassy how it is lately. Because i know NL will not give your police certificate!!!

From what i heard from other people is that it goes automatic. So we will see.
