"Sealed Pot Challenge" ~ 7 ~ Part 2

Loveactually

Hi everyone,


So excited for you jakes mum.
previously our pot target was for a trip to NY in December but now with the baby on way the holidays are on hold


On a happier note my parent arrived yesterday from abroad to help me with the baby when she arrives I m so excited that they are here.


One of my relatives send me money to buy baby stuff but as I have bought everything already the money is going into the pot $50. don't know why she send $ as they know we are in UK

Jakes-Mum.....if you go to www.projectvisa.com (might be .co.uk I'm not sure)....and that will tell you all the Visa's you need for whatever Country you're going to....Hope that helps a little

Oooo thank you everyone for the visa info, shall get myself onto the sites and get it sorted was having a look on the site 32b3 posted last night and am a tad confused about passports . . mine has the chip in it as it was issued after 2006 but DH's hasn't as his was very early 2006 so not sure if I have to get him a new one with the chip in it or if its ok because its pre 'whatever month it was' 2006 :think:

Admittedly I was skim reading so will go back and have another more thorough read! Then its travel insurance and the looooooooooong list of medical conditions (that make absolutely no difference to our length of time on this earth but they still have to know), list of things we want to do while there . . (I do like a list :rotfl:) list of things to pack, list of things NOT to pack (I really do like lists! :rotfl: :rotfl:) . . . i'm beginning to realise my work has only just begun

Have had to accept we wont be going up the statue of liberty, so have decided just to stand on the other side of the water, zoom in and take a picture :rotfl: really don't want to go to Alcatraz, the thought completely freaks me out

Oooo Loveactually - maybe your aunt thought you were still going to NY and you could get baby clothes cheaper over there

Yayyy!! Trixxibell, we can get all excited together and 32b3 aswell for the next few days

45p in the pot today, and DH just gave me £32.85 which was what he had left from the fence money :j :j so thats all going in the pot too . . . (have decided the £2 coin tin is NY money so miiiiiiight have to change that £30 up into £2's )

jakes-mum as 32b3 said, it's an Esta that you want, and use the website she linked. No need to get DH a new passport, as long as his one still has at least 6 months to run from the date you get back! Little Miss Gap has the new one and I have the old one (February 2005) and I had no problems with either of ours (July this year). I'm feeling a bit jealous of your trip! Very pleased for you though. I have never been to NY but have visited the States twice and I love it. NY is on my 'to do' list!! Have a fab time

Some small change (coppers) to pot later

Afternoon all :wave:
Not forgotten you all, still potting was just checking the opening day, 27th, will soon be here:j:j:j

Im really starting to get fed up now DH had the great idea of going to New York next year in April as a kind of christmas/anniversary/birthday treat type thing

Gosh - what a lot of excitement and help you generated there

Another site you might find helpful is virtualtourist.com, which is run by members who live/travel all over the world. Really lovely people on there as well

I am keeping away from the shops to try to save a few pennies for the dreaded C* spend coming up so nothing to pot either

Looks like you all doing well in the final spurt to the finish

Hope you all have a thrilling Thursday

Ooo Ty girlatplay that sets my mind at ease, really didnt want the added expense of a passport or to lose the remains of whats on his old passport

I did cause quite a stir there didn't I Lynne :rotfl: what can I say, I like to cause a sensation where ever I go

Shall have a shufty at virtualtourist.com thank you any info I can get the less anxious I will be. Is it sad that I got very excited when I saw a clip for the last spiderman film on the TV and squealed 'We're going there!!'

DH has obviously got bitten by the holiday bug as he just gave me another £3.64 for the pot :T:T
