Since the flight will be free, all I&#8217;l have to do is pay for the hotel and meals. I do have to check into the visa issue, and I&#8217;ll also have to go down to the American embassy about my passport. I only have three more pages in it for visas. That&#8217;s mostly because every entry and exit visa from Yemen takes up an entire page. I&#8217;ve got three entry visas and 3 exit visa. Add to that the entire page taken up by my Chinese visa (and they stamped a separate page too, grr&#8230;) and the other stamps from the US, Malta, and the UAE and I&#8217;m down to the last several pages. I&#8217;ll need one to get out of Yemen, one to get back in, and I&#8217;ll probably need one for Greece (when I travel with dad and Butler). Hmmm, I better get on that soon, don&#8217;t want to be caught with a passport I can&#8217;t use&#8230;<\/p>\n<div>tags technorati : <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/travel\" rel=\"tag\">travel<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/syria\" rel=\"tag\">syria<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/damascus\" rel=\"tag\">damascus<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/yemen\" rel=\"tag\">yemen<\/a> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emirates is having a special on using frequent flyer miles from sept. 11 to Oct. 11 and I think I&#8217;ll take advantage of it.
