Visa Visa Visa.

Well as you can tell with the title of my post, this blog is all about my trip to the US Embassy in London to get my Visa. I travelled down to London the day before my appointment which was the 3rd April. We got into Euston Station at around 2pm, once we got the tube and walked to our hotel which was in Oxford Circus it was around 3pm. We decided to go to the British Museum, well I did my mum just tagged along. That place is amazing with all the Egyptian artifacts, mummies, sarcophagus etc in there. After that we decided to go to Buckingham Palace, which was good, its a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be. We got the tube back to our hotel to get ready for MAMMA MIA! that show is without doubt the best west end show I have ever seen. So much fun!

Mamma Mia! West End.
The next day (the day of my visa appointment) I left my hotel at 10:45am to get to the Embassy for 11am, half an hour before my appointment. I met up with Charlie outside the embassy and went in, we met a few girls in there that are going Disney as well. They were Laura, Amy, Daisy and Jade. I was called to the first window to give all my documents in and they scanned my finger prints and then I sat back down. Then at about 12:45pm I was called to my actual visa interview, all they asked me was 'What job are you doing at Disney?' once I said Food and Beverage, he said visa approved. Awesome! All I had to do is pay for the delivery charge for my passport then I was done. Out of the Embassy by 1pm. I was lucky, Charlie didn't get out of the Embassy until 3pm, felt so sorry for her. I got back to my hotel at about 1:15pm and my mum and I went on a open top bus tour around London for a few hours, once we saw all the sights we decided we wanted to go and see another show. My mum chose this time, she chose Shrek: The Musical. There's another £100 gone, it was really good though. The production of it was amazing.

Then the dreaded 5th April came, the day we had to go home. We got up early so we could do some last minute shopping, we had a look around Covent Gardens and then Leicester Square. As we had so much time left we went to Waterloo and to the London Eye before getting the tube back to Euston Station so we could head back home.

I absolutely LOVE London, I want to live there. I'm hopefully going back for my birthday in October. So there's my adventure to London.


In other news, I have bought my Medical Insurance off Disney as well as paying for my Program Assessment Fee. I haven't bought my Travel Insurance yet, I am just looking around to see what is the best deal for me. There's not long now only 22 days! All my essays are finished just need to complete my 2 exams then I can completely focus on my arrival in the Sunshine State.


Have a magical day,
