Going to California

I’ve never wireless-blogged before, so what the hell. Currently killing time at Seatac waiting for a flight.

Off to the MySQL conference in San Jose. If there’s anyone on my FL in the area who wants to hook up for a beer or such, shoot me an email.

Alaska overbooked the flight and asked people to volunteer for a later flight in exchange for first class tickets and a free roundtrip anywhere they fly. The three of us (me and 2 workmates) agreed to take it.. so now we’re just waiting for the next flight. I wonder if that one is overbooked, maybe we can trade up again. First class on a later flight and 1 meeeellion dollars! I’ll have to ask. Will update later.

We’re off!

Well, the day has finally arrived. We’re off to London to do the final part of our greencard processing. The shuttle arrives to take us to the airport in about an hour, and we’ll be in London by midday Sunday (local time). Our interview at the US Embassy is on Wednesday, so we’ll have a few days to get over the jetlag etc. Hopefully the several metric tons of paperwork we’re taking includes absolutely everything we need to complete the process and when we return, we’ll be greencard holders. Fingers crossed eh?
