Monthly Billing

Passports bills everyone on the 20th of each month. You will receive a statement that shows your balance and the pro-rated monthly installment. You have the choice whether to make the monthly payment or not. If you do not, then the next month's bill will be pro-rated accordingly. You may pay as much or as little as you want each month, or wait and pay the entire amount by 2 March 2009. Passports does not care how you pay as long as the balance is paid in full by the deadline.Check each statement for correct billing information, address, spelling, etc. If you notice any discrepancies, please contact me.

Welcome Everyone!

As of March 15, 2008, there are 29 travelers signed up to travel with us on our tour to Paris, Loire Valley, Normandy, and London. We leave 15 June 2009 for a fabulous 10-day tour. In the months to come I will be posting information on this blogsite. Be sure to bookmark this site, or mark as your favorite, so you can easily go here and check on what is new. Entries will be either on sites we will see, business to attend to, things you need to know, or just plain fun information. Everything will be in one handy spot.

Two things to look for on this site: 1) look at the titles of the main entries, such as this one "Welcome Everyone!" to see if a new entry has been posted since your last visit, and 2) at the bottom of each entry look for the number of comments posted for each. Click on the comments link to read what others have to say on the same topic. The beauty of a blog is that YOU can also add to, or comment, on each entry. See you on the blog!

Also, if you don't see something posted in the main column that you know you've seen before, then click on the archives to the left and search.

P.S. "Gladiator" is ME!
