not long now...

And the jobs keep coming at work! There's going to be panic when I drop tools at 4.30 and leave... we did have a real nice lunch though, kebabs and beer, lovely.

I'm going to wear a black shirt and tie to get me through customs- it a look that works better with my hair and beard. Well, better than the black teeshirt with harley logo look I normally wear. Plus I might *just* increase my chances of getting an upgrade if I look the part ;-)

ONE LAST THING:
If you see me around, come and say hi!! but be prepared to introduce yourself with your real name AND YOUR LJ USERNAME... I'm awful with real names until I've got familiar with people, and I'm similarly awful at recognising people from their photos!

The US Customs are polite and friendly, unlike the Gestapo that met us on our way back yesterday. NZ Customs should do some Customer Service Training with US Customs. We wore Harley gear in business class and freaked all the posh people out and had a lovely steward and stewardess who were fighting with each other as to who served us..

Ironically, this article appeared in the Toronto Star today. (There is so much travel from here to the US that US Customs officials actually process travellers here at the airport before they actually even enter the USA.

After reading that I could have sworn that was me arriving back in NZ yesterday.. They spend so much time harrassing middle class gay fellas and at the same time letting these terrorist mudslides slip through the system.

Have a great time, Growler! Wish John and I could bop down to meet you there, but sometime soon, huh?
