Congrats Jay & Sarah on the visas!!

Thank you everyone for the encouragement and support. I was watching the departure flight status and saw when Donna's flight started boarding. She is in the air now and on her way to me here in Atlanta. I am leaving work now to drive down to the airport. Thank you Kelly (luvtravlin) for booking the flight and taking care of all the details. Everytime I had a question, you were quick to respone. Soon I will be joining you and the others in the AOS game. Three more hours to go.

Oh, Jay. How wonderful for you both. I just teared up a little reading this.

Good luck to you both. And congrats.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Maybe it's just me but I have noticing for quite some time now that CR-1 visa holders seem to get their visa a lot quicker then K-1 visa holders. Anyone see this pattern?

I am waiting to see how long it will take for Empress to get hers.

Empress, Shonnie - I wish you both a safe trip to JA and good luck with the interviews on Tuesday.

KK - I am sure that your fiance will be successful and we look forward to hearing that he is on his way soon. :thumbs:

Thank you...I have started packing up some things. Even though I will only be there for 5 days I still manage to fill 2 suitcases. I don't understand :blink:.....Bringing something for everyone Gosh! I will return on the 5th but not until late in the night.

Why do you need extra luggage, can it not fit in the two your carrying plus the carry-on? THe thing about carrying more luggages if you might pay twice. Once at the airport here for overage and another at the JA airport for gifts. I normally carry alot and just pay for overage (if I have to) but when I get to JA I say I have nothing for anyone.

That's my motto...the "nothing to declare" line is my friend.

I'm hoping it will fit in the four + two carry-ons, right now we have filled two suit cases and we have not packed for us yet.
