in the city of blinding lights…

So, after a bit of a rocky experience, I am sitting in JFK airport, in the most remote terminal with my visa! Naturally, nothing could go easily and I ended needing a document that wasn’t listed on the Consulate website. A few frantic phone calls from New York City to Canisius, I had a fax in hand this morning and headed back to the Consulate and came out with passport and visa in hand.

I’ll count myself lucky because I only had to go back once. I met one girl there who was back for the FOURTH time. The people there really aren’t the friendliest either, nor do they have any obligation to honor your appointment.

Regardless, I don’t have to come back and that is really just fantastic!

My flight is delayed so I’m going to go kill some time on Facebook and maybe come back to do more of my 100 things.
