| I am a diabetic taking insulin injections. Because I will be carrying syringes, shoud I take the green line through customs or the red line. I wouldn't want to be accused of importing drug paphenalia. I do have a letter from my doctor listing all of my medications. |

Hi,
We are going on a General Tours privately guided trip July 7. Did you have any problem getting your Visa? Did you use the new form? We haven't got ours yet. You are correct, we live in Kearney. |

| According to the customs rules you can take in medicine for personal use if you have a letter from your doctor confirming you need to use these medicines. However, I don't know if you should take a green or red corridor. However, in any case you shouldn't worry: I've never heard about anybody having any problems with diabetic medicines on the border. |

We had no problem getting our visas. We went with Visa International out of Los Angeles. They sent us the forms which we filled out and sent back to them, they handled the rest. The cost was $335.00 for two, which included an extended guarantee and Fed Ex shipping charges.
In case you want their number it is 800-638-1517.
Hope you have a nice trip, we our going on the Peter the Great ship from Moskow to St. Petersburg.
