Well, it's finally time. The moment we've been preparing for is finally only a few hours away. I've managed to pack most of my life into my car, said goodbye to most of my friend and family, and will be picking up my fiancee at the airport later this evening. Then it's one more night in Toronto and we hit the road for Florida tomorrow morning!

The journey up to this point has been such an adventure, and I'm realizing that the real adventure has not yet begun. A new life with my wife-to-be and stepdaughter, new surroundings, new people to meet, and I'll even get to live in the house I've been paying for all this time! lol It still doesn't feel like it's really happening.

It's kind of funny that my last night in Toronto will be spent having Chinese food in Chinatown - you'd think I'd hit up Tim Horton's or something..

I'll write a good review of the process of going through the border for all of you (Fort Erie).

Thanks again to VisaJourney. I still don't know how someone can go through this process without VJ. See you all on the other side!

Congratulations, have a safe journey and an easy POE. Wave as you go past Atlanta, and if I see you I'll wave back!

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

OMG I just noticed that Stiggy and Danu both met their SOs via a MMORPG! That is so awesome!

My fiance and I have been playing EverQuest 2 since November of 2004 and we met on February 9th, 2007!

We are still in the same guild and raid 4 nights a week.

Yes I know we are nerds. Yes we love it and each other!!

Sorry if I'm highjacking this tread, but quite a few of us met through MMORPGs :blush:

Here's a semi-recent thread all about it: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=177413
