I spent my last couple of days in Montreal sampling some good Chinese food, chilling with Mark whilst Jen was busy cleaning up our mess at the cottage (Thankyou!) and stressing about the fact that my visa expires before I am due to go home.
After much research I finally found a phone number, albeit an expensive one, that I could call for advice from the US embassy. They told me to mail my visa and all supporting documents to their office in Kentucky, take all copies of everything including proof of postage to the border and hope they issue me a new one. Apparently this is still at the discretion of the border officials so needless to say I was still stressed!
Mark took me to the bus station and I departed Montreal at 2315, we got to the border at about 0100 and I took a deep breath! The first border official was annoyed and disbelieving of my explanation and sent me ‘out the back’! Shaking slightly I met Border Official number 2, who thankfully didn’t give a damn and issued me a new visa and sent me on my way, phew!
I arrived in Boston at 0630, fairly tired but still managed to fathom out the 2 subway trains I needed to catch to get to the hostel.
