Okay, okay. Jeez, we can't even take a couple (uneventful) days off from blogging without our adoring fans (well, Steve) complaining that they're suffering from information underload.
So here's the latest: I had an interview with a recruiter from Saudi Arabia. He seemed interested, but I read later online that Saudi isn't issuing work permits for anyone over 58, so we'll see. O. is working madly on her grammar specialization. We spent 3.5 hours today at Wells Fargo opening accounts and making sure we can transfer money to and from Vietnam. An hour was murdered talking to AT&T about how to get out of our cell phone coverage and related communications issues. Still ahead--passport photos, police good conduct letters, vaccinations, etc.
Plus it's bloody hot and this bloody laptop isn't helping. But the blog must go on.
P.S. Thanks for being loyal readers. It makes us feel loved, and we like that.

What is a police good conduct letter?
Rick
Basically, it's a notarized letter from our local police chief stating we do not have a criminal record. Apparently, Vietnam, like most countries require this from people coming into their country for employment.
It's not inexpensive either: $49 each - it costs money to be good!
But it does cost a lot more to get the letter if you have a couple of felonies.
Shades of India....this is standard practice in the East...
