We are MARRIED!! I still can't believe it! Waking up next to him every day is like the most wonderful dream that I don't have to wake up from. We are so grateful for all the support and encouragement

Perfect timing... will you be able to wait until visa in hand to fly back together? Well, maybe he can't leave right away anyway... so many factors on this journey :huh:

Thank you! My timing is usually incredibly poor....I'm still in shock :blink:

I've been trying to figure out how long it takes to get the visa in hand. It would be great if we could travel to the US together.

My POE will be JFK, I do hope it goes smoothly because Eric is going to be with us. I'm more worried about having enough time to catch the next plane from La Guardia, to be honest.

We'll be doing POE at O'Hare.  Luckily we don't have to worry about a connecting flight and will just be driving from O'Hare home.  As long as your layover is long enough, you should have time to get from JFK to LGA.

That's the problem, we'll only have 2.5 hours between the flights.

Depending on your arrival time, and if you're late or early, it might be better to forgo the shuttle services and take a taxi or two since I think you've got 4 or 5 of you traveling together if my memory is right.  The shuttle services can take 45 minutes to an hour, according to their websites, and I think that's because they make multiple stops at both airports including the 20-25 minute drive between the two airports.  The taxi should only take you the drive time, 20-25 minutes depending on traffic, and while it might be a little of a hassle to split between 2 taxis it might end up being around the same cost as the shuttle service.  I just looked at one, NYC Airporter, and that's $16 per ticket including children.  So, for a group of 5 that's going to cost $80, which is about what it will cost for 2 taxis depending on traffic and tip.  Also, if you end up in one of the SUV or Minivan Taxis, you could all fit into 1, save money over the shuttle, and ensure you make your connection, just an option for you to consider.

Thank you for the info, I'll tell Eric about that. He's already booked a shuttle, I wonder if he can cancel it and get the money back.

There are still 4 of us, but who knows, the next big trip might be a group of 5:)
