I bet it's nice in LA now, weather wise! Even here in the Bay Area, spring is in full swing!

[Kingair]

So after working 12 hours a day it was time to relax a little bit.
I took Mrs today to Santa Monica beach.
Since we have winter for the last 5 months in Belgium . . . 3 hours of Californian sun turned my head into a nice red tomato . . .
But I am enjoying the weather folks . . .

It was a 'battle' between FL & CA but when I took Mrs to CA . . . the decision was quickly made . . .

Here are 3 pics of our flight home last month . . .
It started as a smooth one . . . and changed into the most turbulent flight I ever have been in . . .
Luckily Mrs wasn't sitting next to me . . .

I flew Delta home from Mexico, the inflight movie selection was awesome, nice clean airplane, but the food.... Worse than dog food.

This L1-A I am talking about is a Executive Immigration Visum for the US . . . cost just a little bit more than the $ 325.00 you mentioned . . . unfortunately . . .

Thanks for the tip.
I will be back in LA / SM in the weekend so definitely I will go and try it !

Well, that was just the filing fee .......I forgot about the anti-fraud fee of $500, and optional $1225 fee for "premium processing". The US likes to get it money, that's for sure!

Call me Friday, Marc, and if I can I'll try and meet up with you for lunch or Dinner over at Cha Cha Chicken, this weekend, if I can.....my treat!

(Been dealing with some complicated medical issues regarding my son, and I might have to run up to Stanford, Friday, for another consult, so I might not be here)

That's correct Nathan + the fee of the Imm Att . . .

Thanks for the hospitality . . . let's have some Cha Cha Chicken together !

And hopefully your son is ok !

I'll call you later today !

Still got your number

Thanks

So this is the last day for this trip in LA . . . . sadly enough since the weather is so nice . . .

I just finished my work . . . check my office . . .

Tomorrow 06:30 AM for 15 hours on the 757 and 767 back to Belgium :-(

But . . . I'll be back . . . May 15 . . .

Have a good flight home Marc!

It's starting to warm up a bit in Europe, so maybe it won't be so bad?

Sorry we were unable to connect this time, Marc. Still up in Berkeley dealing with my son's medical issues. Exhausted what Stanford Med has to offer, so now it's off to the Mayo Clinic, Tuesday, for a second opinion/work-up, which will take the whole week. Hopefully we will have a more definitive differential diagnosis in a few weeks, so we can develop a treatment plan. While I think I'm a pretty good diagnostician, this has proven to be somewhat difficult (where is House, when you need him!), and as my diagnostic impression is different from Stanford's, I'm really curious as to what they say at the Mayo Clinic, and if they agree with me, or Stanford, or if they come up with something totally different. In any event, hopefully, we can get together when you are back, in May.......for some Cha Cha Chicken time!

Glad your trip back wasn't too bad.......
