Making plans for the USA! (part 8!)

Here we go again - another installment of your favourite blog ever: Planning the trip to the United States of America.

In this blog: Papers. Specifically which papers I have to have in order.

In these troubled times, we all need to be a bit more safe and secure, which I have no problem with. I need two pieces of paper for my USA trip.

Document one is the following: Proof of Covid-19 vaccination for non-citizen non-immigrants passenger disclosure and attestation to the United States of America. What this essentially is, is a document where I say if I am vaccinated against Covid-19, if I am exempt from vaccination or if I refuse to be vaccinated.

The second document I need, is my vaccination disclosure form, where it says how many shots I have been given, and when I was given them. I am fully vaccinated and boosted, so that's not going to be an issue once I get to the gate in Copenhagen. I need to present these documents there, before I check in.

For that, I need a printer. It just so happened, that there's a few at work, so during today's VERY quiet afternoon, I printed everything out, and signed what I needed to sign.

Now I need something to carry the documents in. I don't want to fold them or bend them out of shape, since it doesn't look professional. I want my trip to go as smooth as possible, which means I needed something, like a pocket folder. Luckily, one of the supermarkets here had that in stock.

So now, everything is set. My next order of business for my USA trip, is to pack my suitcase and head to the airport. My plan is to pack in 25 days, on the 30th. That gives me a few days to go through everything and make sure I have what I need when I travel. It's been such a long time since I have flown, that I have forgotten what to bring.

Passport, money and travel documents, as well as the ticket. I can check in 48 hours before my flight, but I think I'm just gonna wait until I get to the airport. I am that kind of traveler who arrives HOURS before my flight. In this case, I am making it so I am at the airport at half past midnight - plenty of time to settle down and calm my nerves. I always do that. Head to the airport in the middle of the night, just so I don't have to stress. It's much nicer to just arrive a few hours before the flight.

Given that my first flight is at 6:35 am, I have to be there at 4:30 am anyway, so it makes even more sense that I arrive that early.

It's all getting very real, very fast. I am very excited!
