Dreaded embassy appointment

I'm starting to feel a little nervous now. I have a US Embassy appointment for a special journalist visa tomorrow morning.

Not only do I have to catch a train at 5.40am tomorrow to ensure I will get there in time, but I am going to be made to feel like a criminal just because I have chosen a profession they don't like very much.

I only cover IT conferences - nothing sinister about that I don't think!

But I will duly go and have my fingerprints done and be interrogated if it means I can travel without any hassle.

Wish me luck!
