Planning My Next US Visit
Posted by Renzie on April 23, 2008
Well, it’s confirmed- my flight to LA is on May 30. That means I have roughly just a little over a month to get ready for it. This time, I’ll be staying for about a month, then I’ll be flying back with Mom, my sister and maybe a couple more aunts to meet up with the rest of my relatives to attend my brother’s wedding in July.
A month is still quite a bit of time. And yes, I do have a plan to work out. The ultimate goal, really, is to prepare for our eventual move to the US- for Cristina and myself. I’m more like the advance party, to figure out our options and to get some business done.
First of all, I gotta get me a social security number. I’ll need this to get me a bank account, and get my credit going.
Next, I’ll need to get a license, and hopefully, a car. I’m thinking of a Honda. Just a preference, really. Have you heard? Honda launches VCM 643- supposedly it’s great on fuel economy.
Then I gotta work on my business prospects- hopefully close a few new accounts, attend a few trade shows, build up a new network of suppliers, contacts and clients.
Lastly, I gotta start considering getting some real estate. No idea how the market is right now, but I know I’ll have a better feel for it once I’m there.
Definitely there’s lots of stuff going on in-between. Need to get me a new PC, the DSLR I’ve had my eyes on for so long, a new digital handycam, meet up with some old friends, spend some time with mom and my sister, and just basically have a good time.
Wish me luck 
Cheers, everyone!
