Thanks Island Hopper, just placed an order with them. They were out of stock of rear E07 so got an E10 Dakar? Never used on before, this will be a good test

Thanks heaps for putting us up Bob, much appreciated, hope we can return the favour some day
The Journey Continues

G'day, Glen.

Can I ask how you got such a long tourist visa? We're currently in South America, about to try to extend our 'normal' 90 days.

Seems they slog you with around $300 each, non-refundable, to try! So, I'm certainly hoping we're successful, though only request 5 months.

Cheers. Rob.

We needed to apply in our country of residence, Australia.... it was a drawn out process that included a series of short personal interviews over a 45 minute period in Sydney (we lived in Brisbane). We then got to choose between a 1 or 5 year Visa.
Preceding all this we filled out a mega application form online that took hours to complete

Not sure how or if you can extend it remotely???? There is a Q and A Section on the US Embassy web site, might be a good idea to start there and get an idea if they think you might be successful?

Let me know how you go
Glen

Ended up with 5 year visa too, after a 3 minute interview. 24 hours later, visa. That was in Quito.

Currently camped at the Harley Dealer in Anchorage for the night. Then heading Sth to Homer etc etc tomorrow

Hello there from Montana. Still have camping space here in Helena Mt. midway between Glacier and Yellowstone.

Hello Bill, I remember you. You helped me plan a short 12000 mile route for a previous Canada US trip in '06
We intend to head Sth through Montana so I'll give you a shout and see what you are up to. Will give you as much notice as possible
Now where to find cold beer in Homer AK ???

Will leave Anchorage Alaska tomorrow and head via Tok to Haines and Skagway

Just spent 3 nights with the most amazing couple, you opened your home to us and spoilt us rotten. You've given us memories that will last a life time. Oh that comfy bed.... I hope our paths cross so we can return the favour, thank you

Now to tackle the "Road to the Sun" Montana tomorrow, I'm excited
