One of the key things she said: Security don't care. They really don't. I mean, you might find a nice guy or gal occasionally, but in general they seem to enjoy screwing with you, ESPECIALLY if you've been there all day. It's like they enjoy finding a way to make you further back. Yes, I've been burned. But luckily if you have enough familiar MFCers around, it will usually all work out. I agree.... We need to take care of eachother. The security is not always fair. I remember one time I had to go pee right before going in and the security set up a barrier to align everyone better. When I came back he didn't want to let me in and we were like the first 5! But luckily my mfc buddies backed me up! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your country is part of the Visa Waiver Programm and you are not in possession of a Tourist VISA, you need to apply for the ESTA. More information here: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov You can apply up to 72 hours in advance and is valid for two years. Costs are under 20 USD. OK I had a delay while I sorted some other things out, but finally got around to this and I now have ESTA approval. So I'm allowed to travel to the US. They might not let me in when I get there, but at least I'm allowed to try! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to finish the application the day after I had done the first 4 steps, but I didn't get around to it. And last week I had an incident that turned the whole week upside down. Yesterday, I wanted to continue where I had left off. But I couldn't, it had probably been too long. I started again and sent it off today. America, I'm coming. The way you behaved, I thought the form would be worse. I probably found that they didn't ask that much because I always have to type so much in with new translation agencies. Fields of expertise, how many words of which field already translated (ok not all ask that ), for how many years already translated this field? Sometimes I think I should keep a log and write down all the words I have already translated and always write down when I have started a new field. What services do you provide? Translating, interpreting, proofreading, postediting, subtitling, etc. How many do you want for it? Do you also do copywriting? How much do you want for it? I don't know, I've never done that. And the translation agencies may ask you for subjects you didn't specify and can't pay the price you specify anyway. So why do I spend so much time filling in all these details? Welcome to my world. And I've already thought: they didn't ask me my favourite colour, but apart from that I believe everything. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdingyourdrink Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Maybe I should’ve asked this way sooner, but does the US accept the digital EU COVID certificate (as per app) as such? I know for US citizens traveling to Europe for the Paris Philharmonic gigs, they had to apply for an EU QR code in advance, but is it the same vice versa? Found it! On this website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/proof-of-vaccination.html#vaccine-proof The EU COVID QR code is valid for travel to and within the US. Edited March 4, 2022 by holdingyourdrink Found my own answer! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 How is everyone doing with their flower crowns? I've seen a couple I like online, but am not sure how easily they'd pack given I'm only using carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
