ESTA?

[Ursula]

On January 12th 2009 we have to apply for an ESTA before we can travel to the USA now. Does anyone know anymore info on this please?

[Dawn]

It's a 4000 page document to be completed in triplicate. Every member of your party must complete their own document regardless of age or writing ability of number of arms missing. Such questions to be answered include "how long are your middle toenails" and "how many times a year do you eat Spam". All questions must be answered completely in red white and blue biro and must be submitted at least 22 years before your date of travel. These will be marked and lost and burnt and will need to be redone four times before they actually find yours. It will then be returned because your signature is 2.3mm too high.





I don't know.

I'm ringing your MIL right now and telling her you want to spend the whole of the summer holidays at hers.

[Dawn]

I kind of like my version though. A sly dig at american bureacracy.

Val will know. She knows things like that.

[Ursula]

I've done a search and found some more info.

[Val]

LOL and she was moaning about you drawing a moustache on her portrait ???????

Seriously Hellie, it is the green form but online.... once completed you will be authorised, pending authorisation or denied ... this is then valid for 2 years, and on each trip within the 2 years, you go back online with your unique reference number, and update the flight and accommodation information....

it is a tedious process, but one we have no choice in I am afraid...

It must be done a MINIMUM of 3 days before travel.... but I really wouldn't leave it that late to do.

[Skywatcher]

Yep she is deciding who is allowed in

[Val]

Oh God !!!! I have become all predictable and stuff...... goes to the fridge for more chockolit.

[Dawn]

See told you Val would know.
I knew that Val would know so that must mean that I know stuff too.

[Ursula]

Fankoo everyone scept Dr Chris..... PMSL at that one.
