Ahh, ok thanks, i messed up on the pharmacy :(

I've corrected the picture, added on the extra details plus a rough walking time given by Google maps. Street view is a real help checking all this out, i feel much more confident now.

No, you're right, it is Goulds, i don't know where i got the other place from.

Turns out this one is much more convenient it's practically next door to the Embassy as well.

The picture is now correct in all posts, has all the info you need for the visit if you're staying at the Lincoln House Hotel :)

If you're staying at Lincoln House, you can leave your luggage and electronics with them. No need to pay Goulds. That's what we did. We went back to Lincoln House after the interview and picked up phones and cameras and spent the afternoon in London. They were happy to keep our luggage until late afternoon when we were ready to catch the coach just up the block.

This map I made is accurate. You can zoom it in or move it around or see a hybrid view. The map you posted isn't really to scale or it's missing something.

What are people's experiences with shipping larger items such as furniture to the states? How did your more dear items fare, and do you have any recommendations?

Hubby's opinion is that the interview experience was so easy, he's convinced that as long as he showed up, they were going to give him his visa.

Worst part of the entire experience was the wait - and I had prepared him for it beforehand.
