Stress overload!!

The last couple of weeks have been so stressful!!

First I thought Alyssa's passport would need to be changed but after a couple of days found out it didn't, so now that's fine.

Then I went to check we had everything and found my passport had had tea spilt on it!  Cue panic since the US site said water damaged passports wouldn't be accepted.

Made an emergency appointment at the passport office at £110!!  Had to get my photos re done and signed again.

Just as I left the office I realised they wouldn't be able to call the person who signed my photos as he's on holiday, so I was panicking that would delay things.

But no, all fine and my passport arrived yesterday.  Went to apply for ESTA with my new passport, bearing in mind I have applied for ESTA 12 times in the last few years and every single time it has instantly shown 'Authorisation Approved/ on the screen.

Oooh no, of course it didn't this time!  It said 'Authorisation Pending'.  Cue more panic knowing there's no time to get a visa now!

Refreshed the page and it had been approved.  Phew!!

THEN Cameron's tutor let slip about Florida!!  He heard and I've somehow managed to convince him there is a similar sounding city in Spain and that's actually where we're going.  He seems convinced and I've told him it's our secret and he's got to help me keep it so Alyssa and Charlie still think we're going to Scotland, not 'Spain'.

So now I've had to change the way I was going to surprise them.

And to top it all off I've wound myself up about connecting flights in Miami as I've never been to that airport before.

I'm sure all will be fine and soon I'll be able to relax and enjoy the build up soon enough but, man, what a week!
