I feel I have so many to tell just from my short (but incredibly meaningful time) in Europe & some other travels. So I can only imagine how many you have to tell from living there.

I still stumble a bit, but it is getting to where I can handle things better :) So I'm ready to be the ready reference lady. LOL. Happy New Year to you too :)<BR/><BR/>Mike,<BR/>Glad you enjoyed my story. I wish you a very Happy New Year too :)<BR/><BR/>Tahtimbo,<BR/>Glad you enjoyed my story too. It was an eventful day ;-) It did get kind of movie-esque a few times. I'll have to take your word for it though, I'm probably one of the few people in the world who never saw Sleepless in Seattle...LOL. Your getting lost in London story is interesting too. Wow. I'm glad you finally got back to your B&B okay. Happy New Year! :)<BR/><BR/>Valdese Blogger,<BR/>Yeah, I think your Consulate trip counts :) The embassy was kinda quiet since it was during the holiday lull, so maybe that made it okay. It didn't look like I thought it would inside though :) You have a Happy New Year too.<BR/><BR/>Alison,<BR/>Yeah, they did have the funfair. The train thing was weird though, like a ghost or something got in the way. LOL. Happy New Year to you! :)<BR/><BR/>Tammy,<BR/>Yeah it was a cold, but interesting day :) Happy New Year to you and your family!<BR/><BR/>Martin,<BR/>Yep, the year ended interestingly. Happy New Year to you too! :)<BR/><BR/>Jacqueline,<BR/>It's funny you should say that...I've been thinking lately of doing that, so I'll definitely let you know :-) Thanks for the vote of confidence. Happy New Year to you too my friend! All the best for 2009! :)<BR/><BR/>Fitness Diva,<BR/>Happy New Year to you too! I wish you all the very best for 2009 :)<BR/><BR/>Ivanhoe,<BR/>Yeah, it was wild :-) I tell you, I was a bit relieved, even though I wasn't really nervous about going to the embassy. I guess that I have just developed this shield in anticipation of being treated weird since I have been going through the expat hoops. So I haven't let my guard down in that respect in a long time :) I think when you are outside of your homeland or comfort zone, it's a challenge no matter who you are. So we have solidarity there my friend :) I have some stories too ;-) I'm sorry that you have had such a tough time. Anyway, I just hope you have a great Happy New Year and that 2009 is wonderful for you :-) <BR/><BR/>Jodi,<BR/>Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful and blessed New Year too! :)Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246435607019061325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608541820636776582.post-78033490406732779632009-01-01T17:20:00.000+00:002009-01-01T17:20:00.000+00:00Dori, I hope you have a wonderful and blessed New ...Dori, I hope you have a wonderful and blessed New Year!<BR/><BR/>JodiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278081424560017497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608541820636776582.post-18410227726719311942009-01-01T16:50:00.000+00:002009-01-01T16:50:00.000+00:00What a trip :o) Some passages were totally like fr...What a trip :o) Some passages were totally like from a movie. It sounded like you're relieved being treated well at the embassy. You are u.s. citizen on u.s. soil. I would not expect anything less ;o) Me, on the other hand, before I became u.s. citizen... It's a long story about how non-citizens are treated in u.s. government offices.<BR/>Anyhow...

Sounded a little like Sleepless in Seattle a few times:) I've only been to London once (stayed 3 days), but I do remember my friend and I getting lost. We hopped a bus a rode it to where we thought the transfer station was, but it ended up being the bus barn. The driver got off the bus and just left us there! So, we had to make our way from the bowels of London and try to find our little Bed and Breakfast. To make a long story short, we found the place at about 5:00AM the next morning. Yes, we spent the entire night on the London Streets. Here's hoping that you and Brit Boy Have a Happy New Year!!tahtimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597025991965701257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608541820636776582.post-36570946437467847972008-12-31T19:17:00.000+00:002008-12-31T19:17:00.000+00:00Dori,great post.I hope that you and Brit Boy have ...Dori,great post.I hope that you and Brit Boy have a Happy New Year!Mike Golchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472496241893921107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608541820636776582.post-90853700439719344912008-12-31T18:26:00.000+00:002008-12-31T18:26:00.000+00:00What a great last post for 2008!
