Nancy is leaving Hong Kong on her way to the airport to leave.

And Im still stuck on this freaking oil rig, they bumped me off of my helicopter til tomorrow and even then I wont get off in time to catch my flight tomorrow night, so that mean another day of waiting

The only thing getting me thru this is we are almost together and scouring thru VJ.

p.s. they need to add a crying icon for the "Post Icons"

aw but think about it, you'll be able to talk to us without that nasty trip interfering

hmmm ok

lol

Ramos

You're almost there though! Hopefully Nancy can get through Chicago okay and get through to Canada. Hang in there!

Hope you had a good flight Nancy, and welcome back!

Wondering what they would do going through Chicago....wouldn't she have to go through Toronto's customs and immigration anyway as she's just connecting...hmm I hate Chicago O'hare...

Went on a rant there, but it'd only upset Ramos

As far as I know, she'd go through Canadian customs and immigration in Toronto as she's incoming to Canada but she'd have to go through U.S. customs and immigration in Chicago even if she's connecting.

I just wandered around there, FOR HOURS....DAYS......but I guess it's different just coming to and from Canada. Just had to hit security, after staying OVERNIGHT at hotels....

UPDATE UPDATE

Her flight was overbooked so they were going to put her up in a hotel, but then United found her a direct flight to Toronto WOOT!!!
She gets there about the same time as before, but now we dont have to worry about US immigration for the moment.

Now I just need to get my butt home and get everything ready to drive up to get her, hehehe

Thx for the support all,
Ramos

AOS,EAD,AP here we come

WAHOO! Sounds lovely!!! Do you work on helicopters Ramos? or are you a pilot? or?

Awesome Ramos!!!!

Eman,

Actually I have a pretty easy job My company makes deepwater oil drilling control systems, these are the actual controls and safety equipment for the exploration vessels when they are first looking for oil. I'm responsible for the networks and computers that run the show, so I get to do the training and troubleshooting at times to get them up and running, most of the time I'm just hanging out waiting to work like Maytag repairman, but when I do work its usually quite serious and there are lots of mad people, luckily I handle stress well or I thought so til I started this VISA process, lol.

To answer your questions no I dont work on the helicopters or fly other than being a passenger, but in the past I did fly planes, I'd like to fly again in the future it was a very fun thing to do, to be above the earth in the skies and going where ever you want to, and as everyone always says the views are awesome.

Sorry for the long explanation.

Sincerely,
Ramos

YAY! Glad to hear that things worked out for Nancy's flight back to Toronto!

Darn. I'm almost disappointed we don't get the lowdown on the plane transfer at Chicago. My thinking is she was going to end up with an idiot in Chicago so there was an "intervention" from above.

Congratulations Ramos and Nancy!! Not long now!!

NOOO worries!! My hubby worked on helicopters in the Gulf of Mexico for a while - is why I'm asking.. He spent a lot of time on platforms sitting around waiting for work to "happen".. which is why I ask!! Thanks for the details Sounds great!

Woohoo!

Yip Yeeee Hey guyes!!! I am in Canada now, Happy Late Canada i hope everyone had a good day. In HK there is 20,000 Canadians and if they wern't flying they were out on the town in an area where the good bars and restaurents for westerners to hang out. Always a good time.
And of course Happy fourth of July i hope you all have equally as good of a day!!! Have a beer for me!!

It upsets me to No end that everytime i land in TO that i have to hunt for 2$ and exchange money for a dam cart. The money that i pay for the ticket . Add 2$ to my ticket and give me the dam thing. No other country does it. Thailand, England, India.
Ahhhhh thanks for the Vent!!! I feel much better now! Now if i could only get over this jetleg.....

Welcome back home. I know what you mean about the $2. When I flew back from my vacation in May all I had was currency from Greece, Egypt, Kuwait and the UAE. Luckily they accept major credit cards so I just ended up using my Mcrd.
