that was surprisingly easy...
May. 6th, 2009 11:55 pmI just registered on the ESTA (basically where you apply for an authorisation check to make sure you can get into the USA if your country is on the Visa Waiver list).
No problemo.

Does anyone else buy postcards while on holidays? Buys them like they're going out of fashion, returns home, tucks them away...and discovers them several years later?
I just dug out a bunch of postcards from Death Valley, CA (on the way to Vegas, Oct 2007), London (probably Nov 2007), San Francisco (possibly Oct 2006), and China (Jan 2008).
...I have done a lot of travel, haven't I? And more to come in later 2009.

Have you ever been in a place where you're happily bobbing along...and then someone throws you a millstone and down you go?
Sometimes I really wish I could toss the millstone back at the thrower, watch them mill at the edge of the water...and then go in and under. TAKE THAT, YOU BASTARD!
--
I'm feeling slightly reckless right now. Just a little. And...kinda hung. Not because I have to get up in six hours to get to work an hour early for a phone meeting with the US, but because I'm at a crossroads and if I take this path, I don't know if I'll go up or down, but if I take the other, I know that the way will be more or less the same it's been for the last fifteen years since I left school.
To tell you true, I'm scared of the downs, but I really do want the ups. And I have to stop sabotaging myself, which I do a lot and I know I do, even as I say I want to succeed.
No problemo.
