So what was it all about ???

Flying to Bolivia. Heathrow - Miami (USA) - La Paz (Bolivia) - Cochabamaba (Bolivia)
 
After a good nights sleep in the Hotel I got up and went to breakfast. Another bonus of staying in the Hotel. Then it was a short drive to the Long Stay Car Park and a transfer bus to the Terminal.
 
It was all going so well until I went to check in. I gave the young lady behind the counter my passport and flight tickets. Only to be asked, "Where is your Visa for America ?".
I explained I wasn't going to America. I was going to Bolivia and I was only changing planes in Miami. Apparently, you still need a Visa even though I wasn't leaving the Airport and was only there for a couple of hours. That's when the sinking feeling set in.
 
I was a bit shocked and started to wonder how I was going to get around this problem. Luckily she went on to explain it was simple to get one. I could apply online and pay with a Card. She even loaned me her iPad so I could si it there and then. Panic over.
