I’m not ignoring you, lovely blog readers; it’s just that I’ve had a bit of a computer malfunction. No access to photos makes Jul a sad panda.
In the meantime, while I’m waiting for my sexy IT department to resuscitate the computer, I figured I’d pass along this important info that I recently saw on James’s blog. As of January 12th, many foreign visitors (including Germans and many other Europeans) traveling to the US will have to start registering online three days in advance of their trip. Yes, it sucks. But it would probably suck even more to show up to the airport and find out that you’re not allowed to fly because you didn’t know about it… so spread the word.
As the Australian government has been doing for many years, except tehy call it an online visa application.
Are we returning to the days when travel was not so easy?
Yeah, this replaces the green / white card we used to have to fill out on the plane. I registered right after I booked my flight to NYC (three months before the actual flight which will take place in two months). I hope there are not too many people who don’t know about this. Online registration has been done since October I think, but it is compulsory now.
