I need my passport for Zurich in late Sept. I guess if I renew now, I should get it back in time for that. I think I will get on that.

I am going to ask for a 24 month multi entry visa for China since it is the same price and I will be back in April 2010 and Jan 2011.

The Crazy Crab in Harbour Town. Crowded, but good (I love the idea of "hushpuppies as bread basket" :) )



Tomorrow I'm going on the sales presentation for Marriott Vacation Club (now that I'm old enough/employed/etc.) Not planning on buying anything right now, of course, but it will be good to check out the options and learn more about this whole enterprise. Plus, they give you either $100 in gift certificates or 10K Marriott points (not sure which I should take - SPG's my primary hotel chain but these might come in handy sometime...?). Should be interesting.

I know the home field, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8. Remember, The Eagles (The Band) are just above anything with Stevie Nicks in my "must be avoided" list.

Thanks for the warning! Our house is already wired for the system, so it's just a matter of having the service activated (and maybe 2 new keypads since the old ones are definitely old). We'll have to see who is compatible with all of our hardware and go from there. I appreciate the head's up.

So what's the over/under on CO604 making ito EWR tonight? Right now they've got us listed to leave at like 9:00 on the PDA site but the Delta Crown Room is closing at 7:30. :td:

At least there's free wi-fi in the terminal ^ so I can book a hotel room if this flight doesn't go.

One of my favorites comes on soon - "Locked Up Abroad" ^ Somehow, it's still funny despite knowing the entire plot line in advance:

My father knows Gene. They were born in the same city in Israel, though my father is 10 years older. They never met in Israel. They met when my father was visiting me in Philly and I worked at the NBC station there and Simmons came to promote "Family Jewels" at our station, and my father happened to be there that day. My father knew he spoke Hebrew, so I was able to introduce him, and they talked about people they knew in Israel. Pretty cool and a small world.

I may have a problem. Passport expires in Feb 2010. This trip is for Nov. I think I will need to get a new passport before getting the visa from the
Chinese. I think they require 6 months validity before the passport expires, unless I go next week for the visa. @:-)

Do it now and pay for the rush service. They don't check things as stringently when you do that. Well at least they don't at the Houston consulate.
