    I know exactly what you mean Deb!! I hate traveling with 2 large suitcases and a carry on! You would need to be pushing two trollies with all of your suitcases and i find it hard enough to navigate one trolly Caroline I have narrowed it down to two manageable bags and a backpack and a laptop...

    I'm thinking Optimized is okay. Meaning we're good to go. Maybe it will say closed once we land. Who cares, it's paid and they have acknowledged receipt, that's good enough for me. They'll have to deport me from LA if it's not good lol

    Oh @EmilyW you are gorgeous. They are pretty nice boots. If I had sexy calves like that I might strut my stuff in some fancy boots too. On another note, @GANDT-SYD and @Hershal has your USCIS payment been acknowledged yet? Mine is still in process

    Yeah 22kgs is a pretty decent amount. If you fly with Southwest Airlines in the US then they have the same amount included in their fares. So I find that super helpful. I am not taking too much as I figure that I don't really know where I might end up, and I don't want to be moving stuff...

    Hahaha Emily. I have packed my entire life into 3 suitcases, a backpack and a lap top bag. All my books are on my Ipad and I have about 8 pairs of shoes that I actually wear, and that includes my ugg boot slippers lol. I have decided to ship the one bag because it is too heavy to lift @...

    Yes it seems crazy to have so little time, but it's been such a long process that I thought it best to get out quick and get started on this shindig. And I think I will have to send some stuff over, just remembered I have a whole heap of work stuff to send as well. The luggage pile is growing. o_O

    I like to be portable, and it's not the airport I'm worried about. Its all the traveling around I will be doing before I get to my destination. And you have to get to a trolley before it becomes helpful

    I'm just working that out now. I was going to ship stuff, door to door, but two bags/boxes will cost $700ish, whereas extra baggage for 2 is only $140. Only problem is how me on my own is going to handle 4 suitcases plus carry on. I can't even begin to imagine. I will just have to figure it...

    yes No @Essey, I was trying to track the progress of my passport and visa, not up to the greencard bit yet. Im sure that will be another story. And @Hershal I have paid my visa fee. It all seemed to go smoothly and I had no issues filling the online stuff out. I fly out on the 5th April...

    I work for myself @CBDK so I just cut my work phone off and stopped taking patients. I have been winding it down for some time now so it was easy. I wanted two solid weeks so I can concentrate on tying things up here. Just have to pack up all the mess. Luckily I was working out of a dental...

    Thanks @GANDT-SYD I can breathe now. I am excited to be heading off at last. When are you leaving? And @Hershal I had my pic stuck to my passport as well. It can stay there lol. I'm not touching anything. My big yellow envelope got wet and has a huge hole at the bottom.......looks like I've...
