Tomorrow I'm jet-setting off from rainy England to the sunny state of Florida to be with my SO for two weeks! It'll be the first time I've been to the US and the first time I stay at her place, her background and her family. I've really nervous because I've never travelled such a distance before and never have I travelled over 400 miles by myself!
My work colleagues have been teasing me a little and have been saying how crazy US customs are; I have to write out a form, let them scan my fingerprints and my eyes? My work friend told me that their relative was just going on holiday but were pulled in for drug trafficking because they had a similar name wtf!!!) -.- I'm pretty much sure I wont have a problem but I get nervous about anything and everything, and I take all negative comments literally and they stick in my head for ages. I'm always nervous about airports and security, and the biggest thought about it I currently have is that if I'm questioned, my SO doesn't live in the best of areas... certainly not the worst, but not the best either. I have plenty of money and all my documents required, so my SO's house location is the only thing really getting to me. I just wanna land and get through to my SO without any issues. We have a schedule all set up and we've organised it so well, I'd hate for plans to be changed (I kinda have a few autistic traits, tested when I was little).
Phew! Sorry for blabbing on but I'm so excited but so nervous at the same time! I'll let you all know how things get on Maybe send a couple of pictures
However, I'd like to ask if anyone has any thoughts on where I am staying? Would I be pulled in for it? Do they check before I get through or is it just for emergency use? Thanks
Edit: I suppose much of my nervousness comes from what happened to my SO when she came here! Quarantined for 4 hours before almost being denied! Thankfully my family stepped in and helped. I have no such help this time :/
