Last day of shopping.. #62

Still waiting for my confirmaton and a few packages to arrive that my friends and me oredered online and still haven't arrived yet... now I get a bit nervous, because today is my last day.

I am flying to South Africa again tomorrow, so I hope that all the packages arrive between now and tomorrow morning!!

Also my re-entry to the USA is expired today, so I wonder what happens if I dont' get a confirmation??

A bit of an anxies day, but hey I am still shopping at the North Star Mall, this is my view from the hotel facing the huge mall, a boring view but inside it is looking better I promise you!



I knew this would be a boring trip, but didn't expect it to be THIS boring!!

Being alone here in the hotel, doing some shopping, watching some local TV and at least I met a few friends which broke my trip in a bit more fun!

Good to see you Kelly and Scott!!

Can't wait to come back home, probably not posting while in the air...

See you soon!

Hard time... #59

I had such a hard time to enter the USA....

Every time when I come in, it almost pisses them off...

That's because I have a Green Card, and I don't live in the USA...

That fact really pisses them off...

And the guy at Homeland affairs, I always need to go to this special office at the airport, when I need to update my paper work.

This time I was there to renew my Green Card, it is expired after 10 years and get a new re-entry permit.

Oh the guy really intimidated me... with info like: You have a green card, but you don't live here, don't work here, don't own property here and don't pay taxes here... well, the last 2 are not true, but of course he was NOT interested in my response...

My situation is almost like an Military family, they don't work IN the USA, but that doesn't mean they work FOR the USA. Same here, we are not physical in the USA, but we still work kind of for the USA.

So he gave me a hard time and totally intimidated me with big words, loud voice and stern face!

But I got through, got my re-entry permit anyway and are filing for my new Green card and hoping that it all works out and I can leave again with the paper work done with.

So today I have time for some shopping, since I did all the filing of the paper work, and now I am just waiting for them to confirm that they have received it....

This is the mall I am hanging out today, it has these huge boots in front of Saks 5th Avenue, maybe I should buy the girls some boots like this??



So hanging out in the mall, wandering around, doing a bit of shopping... have nothing else to do besides waiting for my paperwork to get processed and getting a confirmation that this is done, so I can leave again.

A bore...

But somebody has to do it!

I miss my girls and my hubby, hope they are doing well. I am not often without them!!
Hope the days will fly by....

Ciao,
