Yeah I can deal with the wrinkles ... It's the grey hair that's driving me crazy ...

Ohhhh ... Per my tracking, it left Donnington GB, has arrived AND departed Philly PA, and has arrived in Louisville KY ... Getting closer to Vegas... Now I'm really on pins & needles ....

OMG .... I have been biting the inside of my cheek ... It's all torn up ....

I talked to UPS again today ... So thrilled it's finally on its way ... But was also told it's going to cost me another $100.00 to get it once it's here ... Talk about being nickel and dime'ed to death ...  

Or maybe I should say ... Pound and penced ...

Oh man that sucks that they are charging you more! Sorry to hear that... But I guess it's worth it, despite how sucky it is...

I clench my teeth in my sleep normally, but since I've been waiting for my visa I chewed clear through my guard down to the hard plastic. Three years I've had that thing and it only took 6 weeks at home to destroy it. I keep hoping that someone ahead of me will give us good news so I have some shred of hope to hang onto.

Its awful! But so glad I have you beautiful people to suffer along with :)

NatCatCole, that's bad! I hope you get a new mouth guard!

NMF, why are they charging you again? I feel so bad for you!

FutureMrsHandy, What are prices looking like? I know we're a bit different but I have been so scared to even look at prices!

Right now from where I live, the lowest price for May 11-12th is $1,025 then it starts shooting up like crazy... So hopefully on Monday if it's still the same I'm going to use the FareLock tool with united to lock that price in for 3 days, it costs $7.99 but it's worth it if prices increase drastically

Apparently because UPS international attempted 3 times to re pick it up, they charged my local UPS ... So I have to reimburse them ... It does suck BUT I'll be happy when it's over ... I just hope I did every thing right and I was approved ... (No other reason they wouldn't unless I forgot something)

Look for the app SKYSCANNER ... It's free ... And there's some great prices in there, even for flights in the near future (within a week or so)

Example ... I just did a search for April 28th departure .... One way from Vegas to Gatwick and came up with one on British Airways for $540.00 ...  Now that's a GREAT price !!!
