I would love to see you on the plane supping your vodka!

I know, but its nerveracking.

They have changed the form 80 as well, so we have to fill in another one and send that off.

Its never ending and you feel like you will never get the visa.

Mind you, you said you felt like that and look at you, not long till you start your new life!
