You could probably count on one hand the amount of people that didn't smile and wave at our bus as we headed towards the airport. This is one friendly happy country Our airport experience was rather a stressful one. Unbeknown to us Obama had recently introduced a new visa to USA visitors and so unfortunately we didn't have one. We were informed of our failing at check in. No worries, just purchase one online! Problem, airport computers down. The clock was ticking and if we missed this flight we would have to wait 5 days for another! The next hour was rather hairy and being in third world conditions didn't help. We had to figure this one out for ourselves, thanks Flight Centre for keeping us up to speed with world events. Slowly we got online using our tiny keypad on the itouch and onto the relevant American borders security website to complete the 3 page questionnaire. We literally ran to check in with only minutes to spare!
If that wasn't bad enough we then had indepth body checks, oh the joys of flying onto the States!
