It was a lovely day!!! Meeting Sonia and Kathy....PLENTY of hugs!!! The weather was breezy, but great for walking. We saw the London 'Eye' (A giant wheel for sightseeing on the Thames). Had a great lunch and walked around. Talked together forEVER!!! YEA!!!!

And then, on my re-entry into The Netherlands, they were threatening to deport me...NO Joke!!!
Said I had been there too long as a US citizen. They kindly 'let me go' with a warning. Then, on the train, I calculated...the customs guy got it backwards. He actually calculated the time I was in the US...NOT The Netherlands....maybe a class in higher math might help????

So, all is fine, and I learned the rules for a 'buitenlander'....rofl! I called my beau and said "They are thinking of deporting me!"....he lost a few days of life...lol!

Dutch hugs, Kathi

    Trip
    Sounds like you had a great trip! At least the London part! Immigration/Border Guards are the worst part about international travel! I'm sure that your fellow was a bit taken back by your phone call! ( My daughter-in-law is from Japan and has recently settled here in the USA after all the legal fiance stuff was done, I think it took about a year to get everything "in order"! ) Hopefully they don't harass you about all of this!

    Hope you are having a wonderful day!

    Take Care,

    Barb

    Hi Kathi,

    I'm glad to hear you had such a good time meeting Kathy and Sonia!
    Bummer though about the hassle you got trying to get back in the Netherlands.

    Ah well, rest up tonight :)

    Hugs,
    Lisa

    I am glad you three had such a good time. I hope London will be able to cope with the aftermath of you three! Good thing the Netherlands decided to admit you!
