Vanessa and No Visa!
So right now I am standing in baggage claim with Tova and Sa. All of us had passed through customs safely, except for Vanessa. Vanessa was behind me in line and when she approached the counter they asked her for her visa. I thought that was odd because none of us were asked for a visa. I then realized that she didn’t have a US passport and that was why. I waited patiently to see what was going to happen, then she asked me to go get Dr. Downey.
They wouldn’t let her through without a visa. She had told me that he asked if she needed one and they replied no. Shortly after Dr. Downey returned we realized that they changed the rule a month ago. Thanks to the assistance of the Swiss border patrol they are able to grant her a temporary visa for fifteen days which is perfect. We are just waiting for them to finish paperwork and then we will be off to Lucerne.
