With today being the last full day in Boise, there were a few items that required my attention before jetting out in the morning, least of which was the certified copy that I have no convictions to my name.

For all intents & purposes, it takes approximately 5 business days to procure a certified copy of one’s record here in Idaho. The pursuit of this document saw the request go in yesterday, with the explanation that I was leaving for Mexico tomorrow morning, so imagine my surprise in receiving a phone call to come in for a review this morning, which saw me duly attending to for most of the morning.

We took a break for lunch which I met up with the “Blonde Bombers” – Barbie and Denyse at The Curb: Bar & Grill. I met both shielas when I supported the Probe department at Micron Technology Inc and better people you couldn't hope to meet.

From there it was back to the Ada County offices to review and then have the correct documents certified and to have the findings sent to the appropriate government agencies i.e. U.S. Department of Homeland Security - Immigration & Customs Enforcement.

I simply can't thank the young lady enough for the effort she put in with processing my request and getting it all sorted in the tight deadline in which she could have said for me to come back in a week. Just goes to show that good humour and a funny accent can be an advantage.

I took a quick detour into Fred Meyer to collect all the fixings to make homemade wild caught Alaskan Halibut & Prawn pizzas for my hosts Jax & Ian – which turned out pretty well, even if I do say so myself.

I have to say that this week in Boise has flown faster than politician to a free feed. I had every intention to visit as many people as I could while in town, but as with the best laid plans, sometimes things pop up that you simply have to accommodate or manage on the fly. For those who I planned on visiting and unfortunately missed due to unforeseen circumstances, I truly apologise for simply running out of time and spreading myself too thin.

For those that I did manage to catch up with, I am both grateful and humbled that you took time out of your respective busy schedules to catch up. I was great to relive some of the shenanigans we got up to over the years and to see how we all have travelled over the decade since I left for Australia.
