i don't think the post awful can do rush service; you'd have to go to a
regional passport office (look in your white pages <blue pages in some

identification, photos, and airline ticket; they give faster service if
you have a relatively-recent departure date.

Hey now travel folks,

I am looking for a clean place to stay in Carmel. I do not require any
extras (pool, restaurant, etc...) and am mainly concerned about cost. I
won't be spending much time in the room, so I would like to save the money
and spend it on other items. If you know of any lodging opportunities that
fit this description,  I'd love to hear about them.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

be able to supply them.  They typically play bars that seat about 100
people.  The music is not loud and obnoxious, but suits most crouds and
gets a lot of airplay on American radio stations. It is good beer drinking
music since it has a touch of jazz and the blues thrown in.  I would appreciate
anyone sending me the address and phone/fax of their favorite local bars

Bermuda - Consular Information Sheet
 October 7, 1992

Consulate Location:  The U.S. Consulate General in Bermuda is 
located at Crown Hill, 16 Middle Road, Devonshire, in Hamilton;

 As this discussion has shown, the laws concerning carry of 
weapons vary widely from state to state. I saw something recently 
that indicated that there was a bill before congress this past 
session that would at least start some change on this. According 
to the information I saw, this bill would have required cities and 
states to pass laws that would allow any certified law enforcement 
officer (full time, not part time) to carry a firearm both on and 
off duty no matter where that officer worked. That is, a cop from 
here in Houston would be free to carry a firearm anywhere in the 
U.S. both on and off duty. The bill would have witheld federal 
funding from cities or states that didn't comply.

 Has anyone else heard of this bill, and if so, what happened to 
it? (I assume it didn't pass). If such a bill were passed, 
wouldn't it be a "first step" towards a national firearms carry 
policy? Comments?

When I was there 3 years ago, I stayed at the Westin.  You'll find the hotels
in Singapore very reasonable, clean, and safe.  Don't be set back by the 
International chain names, even they are quite reasonable because singapore
is still slighly overbuilt.

I would definitely recommend a half day to ride the tram from Singapore to
Sentosa Island.  You will get a spectacular view of the city if you are not
afraid of heights.  We also made a point to visit all the hawker markets
for dinner.  Newton Market was OK, but I was rather disappointed with the
Satay club hawker stands.  Lastly, Singapore is rich in ethnic diversity
and has sections of the city where this preserved (Little India, Chinatown,
etc.)  The weather is January is pretty much the same as the other   times
of the year - hot and humid 90's with 80-90% humidity - chance of rain
everyday.
