Have a place to stay, and if I bring a new laptop with me, my sister can sell it there for a price that will cover my ticket cost.

On the other hand, its 30 hrs of travel for 30 hrs of beach time.

I am starting to show some :rolleyes: flyer talk behavior... Husband says I am insane(he has to work over the weekend anyhow). The dog had no opinion on the matter.

This sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Enjoy Rio! ^

Just got a notice that one of my emails to you this morning (explaining to you what you just explained to me) went undeliverable. :-:

Grrr, time to start looking again.

I just emailed you something a few mins ago.

I got that one. I sent you a second email this morning with basically the same content as your recent email, but I just got a notice it was undeliverable.

Any opinions good or bad on any of the online brokerage houses?

I opened TD Ameritrade when they had the 25k CO miles bonus. Don't make many trades but very happy with them. Execute orders without problems, can do everything online. Have never had the need to call them.

You have a visa right?

Brazilian Citizen here, so nothing to worry about. Legitimate concern though. I have seem so many people get turned away at check in in the past for not having visas...

Dumb requirement IMO.

BTW, do ppl ever get questioned for leaving the country for such a short period of time? I don't know if this raises some flags at immigration for whatever reason.

Anyone experience this?

It all depends on the immigration/customs agent. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I am already considered insane by many and have a laptop I'd like to sell as well, in case you decide to back out

Where's the snow at? 1 inch on my driveway. I don't feel bad about leaveing at 3 today (normal leaving time) even though we have a reception starting in a few minutes for a new program at work. Me another co-worker figure if they have all the stake holders in for a new bridge program they'd would use the two licensed staff bridge engineers to impress the share holders who we over heard during one of their breaks saying they expect practicle engineers to be heavily involved and not research people that can't get licensed.
