My last post stated that I had been waiting for my visa from Montreal which they had assured me would be mailed out by last Friday .. which didn't make it out until Tuesday .. and there my 9 year old son and I was sitting at an empty house with my life packed onto a UHaul 14' truck.
Wednesday .. nothing came so I faxed a Civil Surgeon in Cleveland our vaccination information and went and got my nails and feet done (that was a relaxing experience! ... my first pedicure and it was heavenly)
Thursday we sat and waited from 9 and at 11:15 the mailman delivered it. No signature required. My brother showed up at 12:30 and loaded my car on the car hauler. At 1:15pm we headed out on the road from Hamilton and arrived at the boarder at 2:30pm ... 4:30pm back on the road no problems at the boarder (very busy time to cross). The duty guard looked at my listing of what was in the truck but other than that they didn't even look inside of it and I had no problems with bringing my car with me (I had the compliance letter from Honda) .. no duty requested. Just $12 american dollars once they process the paperwork for the K1/K2. Got to Cleveland at 8:30 (met my fiance at his work) drove back to the house and unpacked the UHaul by 10:30. I was beat .. almost like someone had physically kicked me all over .. and so I took a couple of Advil and crashed.
Up the next morning at 8:30 ... organized everything I needed (my fiance picked up the paperwork from the civil surgeon and picked up the flowers for the wedding) and booked into the hotel by 2:00. I had made a last minute hair appointment for 2:15 around the corner from the hotel and had my hair and makeup done and back to the hotel by 3:30. Left to go to our wedding at a park worried the whole time that it was going to rain (funny as hell me driving a pick up truck in my wedding dress!!) and made it to the park by 4:45. The weather was perfect ... the wedding was beautiful .. pictures were taken .. and when all of that was done it started to rain. What perfect timing!!!
We went for a wonderful dinner at a fine dining restaurant with our children and then back to the hotel (the kids returned to our home with adult accompaniment) and we had a wonderful evening at the hotel with a good bottle of wine.
So here I sit .. filling out our paperwork to beat the deadline and all of a sudden there is some confusion .. but I will do my research here and I'm sure have some questions ...
Once this is done we will pack up and head out on the road ... destination .. Florida!!!
Thank you to all my VJ friends ... your help and support has been amazing!!!!!!!!!
