you want a tuna or peanut butter sandwich for lunch?

;)

how cool is it to say that!

yay folks, I'm in the US and I have to thank everyone that helped our journey so far go by so damn smoothly.

when I got to the immigration officer he said "what have you got for me here?" (in a friendly voice, seeing my brown envelope"). I said "this your first of the day?" and he replied "first one ever". He phoned a colleague to discuss briefly what to do with it, did a couple of things on the computer like scan in my passport, told me that I'd have to go into the back room but it was nothing to worry about and then called another colleague over to escort me to the backroom. His colleague came over and said "you know he's wearing a skirt?" and they both laughed and the first guy stood up to see my kilt, laughed, then shook my hand and said "good luck mate". The second guy dropped me off at the back room - telling me on the way that he and the first guy always have a bit of banter with each other about gayness and skirt wearing so seeing me in my kilt continued their joke.

I had to wait about ten minutes in the room (there were three other people being delt with). One of the officers called me up and said "why are you in the US?", I told him to "to marry my fiancée and to settle". He handed back my passport, with the I-94 attached, along with some notes (that I haven't looked at yet) and said "you've got 90 days". As you can maybe tell, he wasn't as cheerful as the first two officers but I didn't care.

So, it was off to collect my six bags (those carts are far too small!), through customs and into the arms of Abby.
