OK this ESTA thing

[Kate]

Oh great. They make me nervous aswell!!

[lisaw]

I hadn't even thought about the fact that the accomodation is on the ESTA forms and we are going to a different place altogether this year! Is it OK to just redo the ESTA forms then even though our ones from last year are still valid?

yep this is what I end up doing all the darned time because I stress about it.

You can also update the existing one if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the website likes you

HOWEVER everyone else will tell you to relax and it doesnt matter. As long as its still valid no need to do anything.

All I can say is I do a new one, or update the old one, every time I go to make sure the hotel is right on them. Perhaps I'm just overthinking it (VERY prone to that ) but it's always been ok so far.

In fact last time at immigration, he didnt even scan all my fingers. Started to and he said oh you're already on the system no need to do anything else. First time EVER.

Thanks Keith - I will redo them, I stress about everything and the thought of immigration at JFK is scaring me to death anyway I don't need added worries!

[Kate]

I dont think i could ever go knowing that i hadnt updated my form - thats just asking for sleepness nights if you ask me!!!

Ah yes, JFK. The airport that tried to arrest me for kidnapping my wife memories memories

Well I don't think they will arrest me for trying to kidnap my DH - nobody would be as daft as to want to kidnap him!

Dont be so sure! I made that very same point as my first attempt at a humour defence and I can promise you, it didn't work well

No I bet! I think I might change my flights to Newark!
