We got there at 6:30am, there was about 40 or so people already in line. We got in about 7:30am. Our interview was on a Friday at 9:15am

Stephen, is this weather crazy here today or what??? It was 75 degrees yesterday and now today, it rained this morning, windy as all get out now and supposed to be only 60 degrees !!!

These days I do not know what to wear. I get up on mornings, stick my hand out the window and then go to the closet. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Had to open my windows last night to cool the house down.

This evening is my lil bachelor party. My friends are taking me to a bar close to work to get my drink on. last hurrah!

My daughter heard me talking on the phone and asked me how do I get drunk. I guess she will be overnighting at the baby sitter. She has never seens me when I drink cause i just don't drink enough to get drunk. Not about to change that though.

Shoot Mindy, that's nothing !!! My son is very open with me and we talk about eeeeverything ..which is a good thing, but sometimes ...just toooo much TMI !!!

My son sees me have my occasional drink. He's been to many wine festivals, beer festivals, all kinds of festivals. He has only seen me get trashed on one trip to Jamaica a couple years back during Thanksgiving. I took my cousin (who had never been). We started drinking from the moment we got on the plane and didn't stop and I mixed soooo many different drinks. Not to be proud, but I can drink alot.....well, it caught up to me and the next day....Kelly was NOT feeling well and sitting/lying on the beach, spinning....I had to go and ya know, get sick. My son felt he HAD to join me ....he was *trying* to hold my hair back as I was hunched over the toilet. It was sweet....but I was like, I can do this myself and I'll be fine !!! Austin has seen it all with his many many trips to Jamaica. Nothing fazes that boy !!! Some of the "ladies of the night" in Negril actually necognize my son when we go out at night. He's played bartender at one of my friends bar in Negril (even made some good money from patrons tipping him) and then last year he was running between Negril Gardens and Alfred's serving us up all drinks. He made about $50 US in tips in an hour.

So Stephen, wait till she gets to middle school !!!!! The stuff they HAVE to learn !! UNbelievable !! really at age 10 my son HAD to watch a video in Health, how (and where) women put their tampons !!!!

At a SCHOOL dance (during the day) when my son was in 6th grade, nothing surprises me with these kids, but my jaw was on the floor when there were 5 or 6 girls FREAKIN each other, I mean rubbin up and down each other !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was like watchin child porn !!

I'll be at the Knutsford on Thursday and Friday. Now I wish the interview was on Monday so we all could have gotten together. I suppose on Friday they will be all tired and cranky....

Getting nervous...

Party at the Knutsford!!

Good luck to all of you with your interviews!

BTW, I liked the Knutsford when hubby and I stayed there.

really? that is great! i looks nice from the pics i have seen on there website...what kind of things are there to do around there??? how far is the embassy?? a couple of blocks right?

The embassy is a couple blocks away. At 6.30am in the morning, I would not suggest walking. It will take you about 5-10 mins to walk. But it's not like a main street you are coming from. The hotel will call you a taxi which may be about $300JA. Spend the $5.00US and get there safetly.

Things to do around there. Hmmm. It is downtown New Kingston so not much besides shopping. Are you leaving from Mo Bay? There is a lot to do in the counntry side. But in Kingston, from my personal experience, the options are not that much. It is not a tourist town in my opinion.

ok...well we are planning on being at the embassy at 5:00 am because the line gets very long!! so i guess we will just take a taxi then....

guess we will just hang out by the pool

you hardly see anyone by the pool. But do like Trinilad says and ask the hotel to call the taxi. Do not take a taxi that is parked outside the hotel. The tend to drive up the prices like crazy.

There are museums and dance theatre and such if you want to check things out around Kingston. Go to starapple restaurant to celebrate after you get approved. I really liked the food there. The restaurant is a little cottage. DO NOT eat the Knutsford restaurant. The food is pricey and not very good.

Yippe My I130 was approved on October 12th. I just recieved the notice today! Yippe now it is going to NH. My I-130 was approved in 55 days not bad.

What is next with the process? Can anyone me out. It would be greatly appricated. Should I now skip the K-3 process or keep doing both?

And to think I thought I messed up the paper work and they were going to send it back fwww.

Wow, that was fast AND you didn't need the cert marriage license. Congrats

Anna, I know you're a private person- but I know that you were talking about getting married soon and going to JA soon. So I'm going to say best wishes to you too!

Thanks Michelle.

So did I. First time in 10 years. I made Jamaica Carnival though. My God! The women there are a lil....how you say it....exposed. Women from Trinidad enjoy carnival cause that is the best Carnival in the world, but Jamaican women takes it to another level. Iffeisha is not into Carnival and it was the first time she saw me respond to calypso music in this manner. Calypso is not played a log in Jamaican clubs. She has sworn never to take me to any place that plays calypso music again. I wonder what she is gonna do when we go DC Carnival next year. I go crazy to soca music. I actually play with the mud band for DC Carnival. To this day I do not know how I got home last year. Just woke up Sunday morning in my tub covered in mud. But whatever I did, I am sure I had a great time. With some luck, no one else knows .
