If I can get a an emergency visa, in time, I’ll be going the USA for two weeks next month, on a trip that will include ad:tech San Francisco :->
30-03-2007:
My emergency visa request was kindly approved by a surprisingly suspiceous-looking gentleman behind the foot-or-so thick grenade proof glass of the American Consulate’s counters. But not before I’d only realised 11:30 the night before that I didn’t have the required photograph – which luckily I could get at BeyondIT across the road in Killarney mall. Then as I was about to be allowed to that very special booth to let you into the building after about 30mins in the queue outside – I realised I had left the FNB payment slip in my scanner at home – irk! there’s me rushing back home to fetch it.
I’m extremely grateful to the very kind people who let me back into the front of the queue – though I suspect the drama and volume of roaring bike noise with which I arrived on the opposite sidewalk may possibly have had something to do with that :-)
So, one step closer to seeing New York, Albany and California!
Now for the in-office stuff, then the domestic concerns.
