I picked up my Brazilian Visa on Tuesday - only five days after dropping off the necessity paperwork.
I noticed that it is only good for 5 years instead of 10 years that the Americans get but then that price was about half what the American pay for a 10 year Visa but it does coincidence with my passport expiry which for Canadians is only five years.
Also made a partial payment for one of the private tours I have booked - used Pay pal and it was easy.
Off to a lunch time BBQ for those of us who volunteered for the local Celtic Fest last March.
Cheers

Am I crazy
While this is a little off-topic it is still cruise related so I thought I would post it here while I work on some script for this cruise.
Am I crazy - well you be the judge - just booked another cruise - albeit only a five dayer from Vancouver to LA leaving Vancouver on Sept 22,2012 - I had looked at this cruise aboard the Norwegian Jewel earlier but ruled it out because I won't get back to Vancouver until early morning Sept 29, 2012 - the day after my 65th birthday and a planned celebration - fortunately for me my chief organizer isn't the most organized guy and while we discussed dates and venues nothing has been booked - also need to remember that my God son's parents leave on a 35 day Tahiti cruise on the 30th so that further limits the dates available.
So fast forward to this week and I get an email from my cruising friend - cruise more often - Adele and Cliff from the SF Bay area advising me that they are coming to Vancouver pre-cruise - well it turns out there cruise is the aforementioned NCL Jewel 5 dayer and they would like to get together for a dinner the night before.
So I said to myself - why not sail with them - a quick check on pricing and Amtrak for the trip home as I don't fly and letting my chief organizer know of my desire to cruise and I took the plunge and will now be cruising. It will be my birthday treat to myself.
I now have 75 days at sea booked between now and Oct 2013!
Cheers!
