A long boring day!

Yesterday I had my visa appointment in London. So I got the train to Liverpool street and then the tube to Bond street. From there it was a short walk to the American Embassy and I didn't get lost like last year. So the first person checked my documents and then the second person checked my passport. He looked at it for ages so that was a bit scary. Then I went through security and then took my keys because they have a flashing light on them. So I got given a locker number. Then I continued to the next person who scanned my documents and gave me a number. Then I sat for ages waiting for my number to be called out. Eventually it was and I went to the window where they looked at my documents and made sure I had everything. Then they scanned my fingerprints. After that I sat back down to wait for my number to be called again. I had to fill in a sheet of paper with my address so that they can return my passport. This is when I met Sophie who is also going to disney on the 7th. She's really nice and this made the second part go a bit quicker. We were some of the last people in the embassy and finally our numbers were called. So when I went up to the window it was just to say that my visa had been approved. Then I had to queue to pay the postage of my visa. After that I said goodbye to Sophie and she's on my flight so i'll see her in a week and a half. Then I picked up my keys and left to go home. In the end it took about 3 hours but at least it's done and i'll be going soon :)
