Wow!!! :blush: Thank you all SO much for the warm wishes -- I'll pass them on to Bruce, who's still asleep, last snooze in London! And many, many thanks for all the support and help and general fabulousness from all the VJers who listened to my many, many moans and freakouts over the past 6 months. I couldn't have done it without you to keep me sane and informed. And even though our journey will soon be over (well, at least until we lift conditions -- 20 May 2009, so get ready for a flurry of posts around then!), I'll still be around a LOT, I'm sure; I'd like to be able to give back in advice what has been given to me.

I'll make sure to post when we finally touch down in Newark tomorrow -- oh my god, TOMORROW! -- and have Bruce do a post on his POE experience. He's still nervous, can you believe it, that he might get refused entry. He better not -- we have a road trip to Vermont planned on Tuesday to pick up our new car AND he has an audition that evening for Noel Coward's play Private Lives. :D

Anyway, thanks to all again -- you all are the best! (L)

Hi all -- sitting in the airport lounge in glorious, rainy Luton! I took advice from VJ and refused the I-94W and the I-94 as Bruce has a CR1 visa, and now we're sitting back, having breakfast and I'm sipping on a glass of Buck's Fizz. Next stop -- glamorous Newark! :lol:

Hey guys -- we're here! Bruce will do a POE review later on Newark, but just to say it tool 2 hours to get through secondary for him. He was one of the first in the room and the very last one processed. Meanwhile, I was down in baggage reclaim freaking. (Of course.) But in the end, it only took them about a minute to process him. We were so glad we ordered the big tacky white Lincoln limo to take us back -- we could just lean back and recline on the three hour journey home. But home we are! We got gym memberships today, got my mom to add us to her car insurance and tomorrow we are picking up our "new" car (only 20 years old this time, not 40 like our dear departed George, the Morris).

Yay! We're home! :dance::dance::dance:
