今天母亲就要从北京飞波士顿,明天下午就可以接到她老人家了。 上次母亲来美国的时间正好是2 年前。那时候我刚接受新公司的工作聘请从国内国际搬家到西雅图。她不放心我一人,所以和我一起去。
西雅图对于我是陌生的城市。之前在美国的时候我一直都在波士顿。所以,母亲就坚持一起去,跟着我一起熟悉那里陌生的环境,并照顾我的起居。每次和母亲一起生活的日子对我都是非常幸福的时刻。
我对吃的不讲究,而且也没有养生的概念。所以只要是可以填饱肚子的,我什么都可以塞下去。以前母亲不在身边的时候,我一般是买很多速冻速食产品,回到家微波炉一热就好了。所以每次母亲来拜访的日子,对于我就是额外加餐增肥的机会。 结婚后,还好老公是个下厨的高手,可是,他压根不会做中国菜,也没有动力去学。所以基本上天天吃西餐。还好我什么都能吃,所以也都无所谓。
哈哈,明天母亲到来后的一段日子就可以再次尝到母亲亲手做的菜,那真是很幸福的一种感觉。
美国签证已经放宽一次可以有10 年的有效期。但去年他们实行了一个新政策,对于那些持有10 年签证的人必须到网站上去登记,有效期2 年。去年11 月份的时候帮母亲的签证进行登记。所以在母亲来之前,特地交代大哥把登记文件打印出来让母亲随身带着,以方便过美国海关。
另外,因为母亲不会说英文,担心母亲在过海关的时候有问题,我还特地写了一封给海关官员的信,让母亲一起带着,在面试的时候直接递上去就可以了。希望有帮助她的通关。
母亲乘坐的是北京直飞波士顿的飞机,所以不存在中转的问题。这样对不懂英文的她来说省了很多的麻烦。但是我还是交代母亲,如果她自己觉得不放心,今天在国内换登机牌的时候可以要求轮椅服务。这样有人可以直接把她推到登机口,就不用担心找不到登机口了。 这种服务我在2016 年母亲独自回国的时候有要求。航空公司不会额外收钱。只要给推轮椅的$15的小费就可以了。当然这也是看自己的选择。也没有一定说要给。但是我为了不出意外,还是给了小费买放心。
当我跟大哥说起这个服务的时候,大哥第一个反应就是“妈又不老,而且又没毛病,为什么要坐轮椅。” 这是很多人的一个直接反应。其实要求这种服务并不是说一定是老到走不动或者有毛病,主要是对于那些国际旅行有语言障碍的长者的一个额外服务。这样也可以让在家里等待的家人放心。 这次我让母亲自己做选择。如果她觉得需要此特殊服务就可以要求。如果自己觉得不需要的话,就不要。只是我得把所有的旅行中的事都交代清楚。以免她老人家一人干着急。
希望母亲旅途一路顺利。明天下午我准时到机场去迎接母亲的到来。
