Did you know that while we are in Venice there is a very good chance that there will be flooding? We have been having a discussion over on Cruise Critic about this occurrence -- and what to do if it should happen while we are there!
Please see the post on our other blog that provides all the info and solutions!

Don't forget to vote
Sorry if you already saw this post on the other website, but don't forget to get your "absentee"* ballot to vote in the general Presidential election. The election is November 4, 2008 (in case you had forgotten).
If you are in California you can send in your request at any time up until 7 days before the election (which is October 28 --please don't wait that long). You can get info about voting by mail (for Californians) at the Secretary of State website. I filled out the form to mail, but then I went to my local county website and it provided a way to electronically request a ballot to vote by mail! (We will see if that works.)
*Apparently "absentee" is no longer politically correct and in California such terminology has been changed to "vote by mail." Okay.
