It's my last day at work today. Everything is just beginning to dawn on me, but the excitement is building. Plus we're gonna have a fab night in Fleet tonight.

Mx and I went to the US Embassy yesterday to apply for our US visas. After 2.5 hours of waiting we were approved, with no real issues. They'll be posted out to us with in a week so all should be received before our departure on the 14th.

More Money forked out too.

£67 for our visa application
£352 for our Greyhound tickets (valid for 60 days on any Greyhound Bus throughout the US and Canada (Bargain))
£92 for 4 nights accomodation in the Jazz on the Park hostel, 36 West 106th Street, New York. Jazz on the Park Hostel
£12 for our airport transfer from JFK.

We've slightly (only slightly) pushed the boat out and over my $40 (£25) a day budget, but it is New York and it will also be our first few days together so we'll be easing ourselves in gently.
