[41.06 --> 47.50] It's seven going to Europe because you're with the wind, what they call the jet stream.
[47.98 --> 49.80] But coming back, it's an hour longer.
[49.80 --> 51.28] I guess it must be uphill or something.
[52.26 --> 53.58] Oh, so, right.
[54.18 --> 55.36] It's story time.
[55.90 --> 56.34] All right.
[56.44 --> 57.28] It's story time.
[57.56 --> 59.58] I was a colossal idiot.
[60.36 --> 61.24] Let's put it that way.
[61.44 --> 61.92] No.
[62.56 --> 67.94] The night before our flight to England from the States, I was logging onto the American
[67.94 --> 72.82] Airlines website, putting in all my passport information and I put in my wife's passport
[72.82 --> 75.84] information and my daughter's passport information.
[76.02 --> 76.78] It was all fine.
[77.28 --> 78.20] Got to mine.
[78.40 --> 79.50] And, you know, I have both.
[79.50 --> 81.68] I have the British and the American one.
[82.62 --> 86.30] And I put in my British one and then it said, you don't have a visa for this passport.
[86.48 --> 87.84] Please enter your US one.
[87.96 --> 89.04] I'm like, okay.
[89.24 --> 92.58] I was going to enter Britain on my British one, but sure.
[92.78 --> 93.00] Fine.
[93.62 --> 95.32] Went to get my US passport out the drawer.
[96.04 --> 97.14] It expired in July.
[97.68 --> 98.50] Oh, no.
[98.94 --> 99.30] Uh-huh.
[99.50 --> 101.80] You can't just get that taken care of like overnight.
[102.00 --> 102.86] Like that's a process.
[103.10 --> 103.20] No.
[103.30 --> 104.02] And bear in mind.
[104.14 --> 107.90] So we were due to fly out on Labor Day, which is like a bank holiday in the States.
[108.66 --> 109.76] You know, this was Sunday night.
[109.76 --> 114.28] I found out for a Monday night flight on Labor Day.
[114.40 --> 116.86] So the entire government was closed on the Monday.
[117.32 --> 123.86] So I just had to sit there stewing in my own filth and shame for an entire day, explaining
[123.86 --> 127.70] to my entire family why they weren't going to get to meet their granddaughter on time
[127.70 --> 129.50] and yada, yada, yada.
[130.12 --> 133.82] I mean, that does feel like a quintessential dad experience where like you're, you're so
[133.82 --> 136.04] worried about like, how are we going to fly with a baby?
[136.46 --> 137.36] What do we need to do?
[137.36 --> 141.22] Like, do we have devices to entertain ourselves, sync the media, pack everything?
[141.42 --> 144.30] You think of all that stuff except for your own passport.
[145.06 --> 151.12] Do you know what makes this absolutely asinently stupid is that we had to apply for my daughter's
[151.12 --> 152.76] first passport in August.
[152.90 --> 155.20] So she had her appointment on August 8th.
[155.80 --> 160.36] We paid for the expedited processing and it was there by August the 22nd.
[160.46 --> 162.78] That was pretty fast, I think, for a first passport.
[162.78 --> 167.32] They used my American passport in that application.
[167.84 --> 172.98] And at no point did anybody say to me, hey, Mr. Kretschmar, your passport's expired.
[173.48 --> 174.48] Hey, man, just so you know.
[174.58 --> 175.20] Just so you know.
[175.40 --> 176.54] Looks like you might be preparing to travel.
[176.80 --> 181.08] I mean, look, it's totally my fault and I hold my hands up that I screwed up.
[181.82 --> 185.78] But there were a couple of opportunities where other people could have helped me as well.
[185.78 --> 186.86] Oh boy, no kidding.
[187.40 --> 189.94] Well, you can always help yourself by going to a Cloud Guru, eh?
[190.04 --> 192.52] The leader in learning for Cloud, Linux and other modern tech skills.
[192.86 --> 197.92] And right now, everyone can get into the game with discounts on learning plans.
[198.06 --> 202.08] Hundreds of certification courses, thousands of labs and hands-on learning and free cloud
[202.08 --> 203.46] sandboxes to develop your skills.
[203.72 --> 205.20] A CloudGuru.com.
[205.20 --> 211.02] So the Tuesday morning rolls around and I end up calling the State Department and booking
[211.02 --> 213.30] an appointment, an emergency passport appointment.
[213.70 --> 217.22] The only one they have within two weeks is in Chicago.
[218.50 --> 220.50] And of course, you're in North Carolina.
[220.64 --> 222.58] So that's a bit of a track.
[222.68 --> 223.46] Well, actually, I tell a lie.
[223.52 --> 225.06] They had one in Buffalo as well.
[225.06 --> 230.18] But given the size of O'Hare in Chicago, I figured actually what we'd do is we'd fly
[230.18 --> 230.82] out to Chicago.
[231.38 --> 233.92] I'd go and get my emergency passport taken care of.
[233.92 --> 236.44] And then they give it to you within two or three hours.
[236.82 --> 238.60] And then we'd just fly to London from Chicago.
[238.78 --> 243.36] So in the end, my wife got her birthday in Chicago and she got to go around all the art
[243.36 --> 244.64] museums, all that kind of stuff.
[245.00 --> 247.80] And then we flew out to Heathrow direct from O'Hare.
[247.98 --> 252.20] We went on one of those really nice new Dreamliners, those Boeing Dreamliners.
[252.56 --> 253.06] Oh, really?
[253.46 --> 253.70] Yeah.
[253.92 --> 255.10] Lives up to the hype, man.
[255.20 --> 259.34] I tell you what, they say they pressurize the cabin at 6,000 feet, not eight.
[259.34 --> 264.26] And I was super comfortable on that plane, even with a mask on.
[265.04 --> 268.46] It's hard to explain, but I just didn't feel as fatigued at the other end.
[268.70 --> 270.88] Boy, if you're going to go on a long flight, that seems like the way to go.
[270.98 --> 273.22] And how nice is that for the wife lady?
[273.30 --> 277.80] She got to spend the anniversary in Denver during our meetup and the birthday in Chicago.
[278.02 --> 278.90] Yeah, I know, right?
[279.36 --> 281.26] After a year and a half of not traveling.
[281.58 --> 282.36] It's a bit strange.
[282.36 --> 288.14] So anyway, here I am sat in my mother-in-law's house in England, and it's actually pretty
[288.14 --> 290.94] much three years to the day since I emigrated.
[291.72 --> 291.74] Wow.
[292.06 --> 293.12] A lot to catch up on.
[293.32 --> 298.42] There's so much that's happened in that three years from, you know, new career, new houses,
[298.80 --> 299.56] new baby.
[301.08 --> 306.50] You know, the weird thing is, is that when we emigrated, child, having a child was just
[306.50 --> 308.28] not something we were even thinking about.
[308.34 --> 311.50] And here we are coming back the first time with her in tow.
[311.50 --> 312.40] It's very strange.
[312.98 --> 313.14] Wow.
