Hi Lgg (and Kitty),

Congrats on a successful POE and thanks for sharing about your experience here on VJ! :star::thumbs:

Welcome to America! Meow! :star:

You made it, despite the weather and everything else! Glad everything went well for you and kitty there.

Good luck with the rest of your journey too!

Ant

Oh my god, I almost freaking out when I woke up at 6am this morning and saw 8" of fresh blowing snow! The cab ride was a shztshow as the guy wanted to charge me an extra 10$ for my cat. I pretty much told him to ** off as I'd booked this taxi the day or two before and told them about the cab adn they quoted me my regular rate. he was a rude hack of a human being. nice start to the POE.

Then... I had to wait in line to check in because I had my cat and as soon as I walked up the counter, Whoopi Goldburb (thats' what she looked like) said, "what's that stink? Is that your cat that stinks like that?" I BEG your pardon? My cat smells like Bounce from sleeping on the laundry.

So... that's that. I wait in line at Customs and then get to the counter and say I want to activate my Visa and then go to Secondary. This really nice woman takes my passport and my big manila envelope and then she takes my finger prints and a retinal scan? I dunno, she shone something in my eyeball.

Then she said, let's get you processed so you and your kitty can catch your flight. she called me up like 10 minutes later, I signed a couple of things and she gave me back my visa with the stamp in it and said, welcome to american, hope you have a good day.

Totally easy. Not a single question about anything or whatnot.

My cat? No drugs or anything at all was the biggest sweetie of life. I told Wyatt already, she was so quiet and calm that she was more like a travel buddy than anything. I love her more for being so easy going and awesome today and kitty has never been on a plane or in an airport.

It was a good day -- the weather freaked me out a TON but the flight wasn't even delayed at all -- we sat for 15 minutes on the tarmac waiting for deicer but that's it.

I am home now with my husband. he met me and kitty at the airport with lattes and we drove home and then went out for dinner to celebrate POE. Kitty is afraid and hiding and I hope that she and my husband's cat will make friends...

Thank you everyone for you advice and support and all the help along the way. I am home finally. It's nto really sunk in yet as I am really dazed and tired.

xoxoxo
