Hey!!! 🇱🇷🇨🇴

 

[Holly♡ 401]

I have not been around much because well... life is hectic and crazy sometimes!! hehe Been busy with work (which is currently overnights this week) and still working a ton of overtime and planning for my F's POE which is the 19th!!
I will be meeting him in LA, but will arrive a day prior to have a day to relax (since I will finally be away from my job!!  lol) and see my son for a bit since he is in that area. Got the room in Carslbad and my son is in Encinitas. Then I will go to the airport to finally pick up my F have the day to play and do whatever.. this will be his first time in the US. Then he and my son will meet the next day and we will do whatever... I am hoping to find a really cool haunted house or something like that that we can do and then we leave in the evening on the 21st and will be home on the 22nd!  Sooo excited!!! I know it is right around the corner, but it still kinda feels far away!!  lol

Oh, and for anyone who is traveling anytime in the future, I wanted to share something because this is something that I just discovered. So, I was trying to find a decent car rental price and I did, but the reviews of those big names with cheap prices near the LAX airport had TERRIBLE reviews. So, if I wanted a car from a place that had a better rep, that meant.. paying more. Instead, I kept looking. I found this website called Turo.com. It is a site where people rent cars and it is soooo much cheaper because they don't charge all the ridiculous and crazy taxes and fees that the car rental places get away with charging that doubles the price. The person that you rent from also brings you the car! While I am in CA, I think my car rental is going to be $80 which I think is pretty good compared to what I have seen. One thing to watch for though... some people charge for delivery to airports which I have seen silly delivery fees as high as $200 and some people allow more miles than others. So, those are a few things to watch for if you use this site and when choosing a vehicle. I found one that was $24 a day with an allowance of 200 miles per day. I know it's not unlimited, but it is soo much cheaper in the long run.

Hope all are well (even those who we have not seen here for a bit hehe) and glad to see everyone is moving along in their journeys to their loved ones and for those still waiting... it just means one day closer because it really is right around the corner!

I just arrived in the Dominican Republic this morning so that I can be with my fiancé for the flight and PoE this afternoon.  It feels very strange flying to another country with no bags and only staying a few hours! I'm so excited ... Many months of waiting and it's finally here!

Hey Whiners! I'm happy to announce that our visa is APPROVED!  

But before that, there were a few bumps in the road especially during my medical appt - (1) I had a personal evaluation with a psychiatrist w/c was scheduled 2wks after my medical due to self inflicted injury (2) The psychiatrist referred me to a psychologist in w/c I had to take a series of tests that took me 7hrs to finish (includes 850 items of written exam, 4 pictures that I have to describe and make a dramatic story, 1-on-1 interview with the psychologist and showed me a rorschach images that I have to describe to her).

Good thing everything went well and got my visa approval at the interview. 

I also want to congratulate my fellow Whiners for the NOA2, visa approvals, POE. Let's all see each other again in the AOS!

For those of you who took your medical were there any restrictions on eating?

No need for fasting, since they are mostly looking for STD's, and maybe antibodies if you are missing any vaccine records

Good luck wit that and don't be nervous, it will go well.

I know what you mean.. I am I am not going to another country, but when I go to LA to meet my F there, I will only be taking a small personal carry on with a few things of mine, but the bag and most of the contents will be for my son. So, because I am not taking anything I am flying with Spirit Airlines (I know, I know lol) but it is a direct flight and was a crazy cheap price of $40 to fly down there.
Does your F live in an area that was affected much by the hurricanes?
