Have passport will travel!!

Posted on September 8, 2006

Well it’s been a while since I posted here and I have lots to add!!

Firstly Squidgy­boo is now both a US cit­i­zen and a British cit­i­zen. We had to apply for dis­cre­tionary cit­i­zen­ship for her here in the UK because Simon and I aren’t mar­ried and cit­i­zen­ship passes through the Mom. So after send­ing them 200 pounds we got a nice cer­tifi­cate and it’s all nice and offi­cial, YAY!!

On the 7th I went to Lon­don w/ Squidgy­boo to get her pass­port and get some­thing called a ‘Con­sular Report of Birth Abroad of a cit­i­zen of the USA’ and her SSN. We took the train down from Man­ches­ter, then from Euston sta­tion we got on the tube to the US Embassy. It was a geor­gous day so the trip was very nice. Squidgy­boo was a really good girl and only cried a lit­tle bit. Poor thing was very tired so I don’t blame her for cry­ing. We left the house @ 6am and were back by 4pm. It was a very long day and the two of us took a nice long nap when we got home.

Wal­ly­woo is still away. He left a week ago yes­ter­day and won’t be back until Mon­day pos­si­bly even Tues­day. I’m hop­ing he’s back on Mon­day because we miss him lots!! I know that we would much rather be home and doesn’t really like these long trips. He would much rather do his usual 2–3 day trips but his boss is trav­el­ling w/ him. His boss lives in the US so because of that these trips are usu­ally longer.

Squidgy­boo and I are leav­ing on Thurs­day for our hol­i­day in the Azores!! We are very excited and are really look­ing for­ward to see­ing vovo and vôvô!! I’m hop­ing trav­el­ling alone will not be too bad. Wal­ly­woo booked our flights and he made sure there was enough time between flights to calm her down, feed her and gen­er­ally not be too stressed. Wal­ly­woo will be meet­ing us later, he is going to be in the US for a meet­ing for the first week. Our tick­ets arrived yes­ter­day so we just need to pack!!
