Well, we got the information from the Transportation travel section about how much money we can spend on plane tickets, but it seems so exorbitantly high that Josh is rechecking with the finance office to find out if they will use that estimate provided by Transpo to reimburse us, or if they have their own formula. Unfortunately, the finance guy is out of the office until Monday. The good news is that apparently this guy really knows his stuff. It's always nice to run across someone who's honestly really good at their job - and wants to help you out. Just wish there were more of those people around when it came time to PCS...
Based on the numbers we got though, it looks like we've got plenty of options. We can fly east, we can fly west. We can go through Europe, the Pacific, the Middle East... The only real drawback is that no matter where we go, we seem to have long layovers. Nothing totally unmanageable but I'm taking offers if anyone wants to sit with my kids for 6 hours in Abu Dhabi about they just got off a 14 hour flight. Going once, going twice...
Enough on the move though. Apparently our 2 weeks of summer is at an end (summer always comes late in Monterey), and we have now entered fall. While I'm sure I'll miss all this nice, cool weather when we're enduring endless rain and heat next year, part of me really misses having actual seasons. Sun and heat in the summer, snow in the winter, changing leaves in the fall. Is this too much to ask for? Oh, and rain in the spring instead of all winter long :)
