I think that's wise.
Thanks for that, JASB. I will need positive thoughts for this as I'm taking all 4 children (ages 11, 7, 5, 21 months) on a 4 hour car ride followed by a physical exam by a doctor we don't know. My 5 year old is also nervous about peeing in the cup! CHALLENGING!!!
Then we'll hang out in Chicago for 1 day to see the FIELD MUSEUM!!

It may be a different med check in the USA.
BUt for my 2 kids 4 1/2 yrs and 2 yrs it was very straight forward.
No Peeing in the cup for either.
Xrays are very straight forward.

Silverski.
PS> see you over on the april thread later

Really good news on the passport though. We are just waiting for our last one to come back now. Sent it off with the check and send service this time as we need it for our hols in a few weeks. This way hopefully it should be a little quicker as it as already been checked. Not counting my chickens before they hatch though. Still can't believe they got my b****y name wrong. It wouldn't have mattered if it was the first page but just my luck to be the certificate.
Sorry boring all now.
