I gaily tripped onto my British Airways flight at 6:50pm on Monday evening, slept like a rock until landing at Heathrow at 6:55am Tuesday morning, went through customs - and was detained.
You see, I had applied for a visa weeks ago, but as I forgot to send in a supporting document was denied the paperwork. I assumed that since I was coming back within three months I'd be fine without a visa; turns out I was wrong. Heathrow immigration detained me for ten hours before shipping me back home to the US.
So now I'm back in DC, reapplying for my visa and waiting to fly back to Engand (which will hopefully happen the weekend of the 27th.)
Oy vey.
