💓Treasures on Tuesday - Just Pure Beauty!

By
Industry Observer DRE# ER40011786

Happy Wednesday, and not-so-wordless, but had to share this photo of The Lagoon of the Seven Cities Sao Miguel Island in the Azores.    I will have to wait to see the Azores until I get my passport back.   Once I get into Portugal, I have to go to the Immigration Office and produce more paperwork, and could take up to 4 months for completion.   At that time, I will be able to jump on planes and travel to all the locations on my MUST SEE this!

 

This was just a stunning photo!

Hi Joan... for some reason, I always worry about "giving up" my passport to anyone where I can't keep an eye on it.

Nina Hollander, Broker I had to leave my passport in San Francisco last month, so hopefully by end of March or mid-April will get it back.

Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner oh boy... that's a long time! I've sent in my passport for visas to different countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia... but always had them back within a week. I still always hated waiting that week.

Working with Kelly is a good move

I see that moving to another country takes time and has a process.  Interesting ;)

I'm so excited for you!  I can't wait till you are there and report back to us (hopefully) on your adventures!

It's about time for me to get a new passport.  Haven't needed one in a while, but retirement is just around the corner.

I had relatives from Sao Miguel Island in the Azores, and I was lucky enough to be able to visit the island in 2012. What a beautiful place!
