The United States Of America!
A country, like no other.
If you haven’t been to the USA, You haven’t seen the World.
These were all the words that kept ringing when we thought about applying for our Visas in 2014.
walking into the Visa office, Was like walking into a well-guarded centre, where they thoroughly checked our documents and questioned us like, they had the complete power in their hands in deciding our future ahead.
But, In a way, they had complete authority though in approving and authorising us to travel to the United States.
Getting our Hands-on The USA Visa – Was like a Milestone in Life. (Yeah, We have achieved something in life!)
It’s just that so many Visa get disapproved and it isn’t easy getting a Visa To The USA.
But, I guess what worked for us was our Past Travels.
Airport.
Still Dreading how will we survive this long journey of Twenty odd hours including a layover in Europe.
We have just Seated ourselves on the flight, after all the security checks and Walking around the Airport.
We still don’t know, how to go about this flight journey, eight hours and we will be in Europe and another ten to twelve hours until we make it to The States.
Should we Sleep, Should We Watch Movies?
Anyways! We Decide to Sleep. In order not to get jetlag we must Dose Off on this Journey.
After what looked, like I slept for Days, We reach Zurich Airport.
The Zurich Airport, Is beautiful, The Weather is good and we have a few hours to kill, And we stroll around watching Swiss Airways Flights land, Take off around the Runway, Sipping hot chocolate and having a light meal around.
All was going Well Until our next leg of the journey had entertainment issues.
Yeah! You read that right! Entertainment Issue!
Due to a shift in passengers carrying their Devices like the iPad, Macbooks and iPhones Airlines were now going away with the Entertainment, Infotainment options for Economy Passengers.
United Airlines- Was already Dividing me With America… Leaving me in no State but to sleep again on my Journey, I tried hard to have enough cups of coffee to keep me awake! But for what, I am practically
20000 feet or more above ground. With No Wifi, No Movies, No Television, Sitting on a seat trapped for the next couple of hours…
Just staring at the views outside, I soon fall into a deep sleep.
Now we Are In the USA!!!!
If the Visa Centre was sweating us out!
The immigration Counter was like a serious offence committed.
Since We must have got a USA Visa! But, We Still haven’t entered the USA. So We carefully listen and answer all questions honestly to extent of Letting them know we have carried Pickles & Puffcorn with us in our bags. (Since They have experiences and are well educated, informed about Indian travellers and their needs)
