Only made it to Amsterdam, then Delta representative was of the opinion that my Visa was "no good".
Now back home again, worked all day to try and get another application in asap. Failed. DHL do not deliver to an address, different courier companies take between USD 650 to USD 700 for a speedy delivery(robbery). Fought a big part of my afternoon to try and arrange a guaranteed delivery of my application for tomorrow morning, but failed...when finally taking the "postal service approach", 1745lt, I missed the deadline by 15 minutes (bummer). Last time I was supposed to join, my Visa application process delayed my joining of the vessel for 2 weeks.SOME HIGHER MIGHT DOES NOT WANT ME IN INDIA. I AM CURSED.
