I apologize that I am one day off...this post was suppose to come yesterday but I simply forgot to write something. There isn't much new other than I sent STA Travel my old ticket so they could send me a new one. I went to the post office here in Council Bluffs, IA last Wednesday to send the ticket via Express mail so it would get to them by Thursday. It cost $16.25 to overnight something of that weight (which wasn't more than 5 ounces). So this change in flight has cost me a total of $51.25! Not bad but this cost could have been avoided if I would have planned right in the beginning. Oh well...it's done and there's no turning back now!
I was curious about how my American Express credit card works overseas so I called them up to see what they charged. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to get hosed with international service fees. The guy said they charge 2% of whatever you charge. So...if I spend $2000 in Australia they will charge me $40 in service fees. That's not bad since I have 0% interest until June/2008. I will be giving them another call back in January just to make sure this guy gave me the right information. You never can be sure about these credit card companies...they are fishy at times.
Other news in my life: I put in my two weeks notice to my managers last week after I was offered a job at Wells Fargo Bank in Bellevue, NE as a Personal Banker. I'm pretty excited for the new position and looking forward to start training on December 12th. My official first day at the bank is on December 10th and I will have to drive to Lincoln, NE everyday for training. However, I think it's only a few days a week for 6-8 weeks so not bad. Eventhough I changed jobs they are still allowing me to take 2 1/2 weeks off of work for this trip to Arizona/Australia! The day's are flying by and with the holidays fast approaching it won't be long now until I'm boarding that Boeing 747 jumbo jet en route to Sydney!!!
That's all for now!
