Okay, this I think is going to be my shortest blog post of our trip. Today is going to be chill day AFTER I get off the phone!
I was up early and had some lovely interactions for just over 2 hours with a Credit Union which will remain nameless, in the United States, in relation to the Estate that I am dealing with. This Credit Union (which are not like Credit Unions in Canada) has taken over the small Bank that was wonderful and helped me as a Canadian open an account in order to fulfill the requirements of the Washington State Probate Court. I do not have a Social Security Number (nor do I want one) and that is primary piece of ID needed to have a bank account in the USA. The Bank used to put in a “fake” number to allow me to do what I needed to do. Now that the Credit Union has taken over there are more RULES and the rules are not giving me access to the money that I manage as they do not deal with “fake” Social Security Numbers. Thank goodness I do get paid for my time dealing with these types of things! I told the lady, when we were about to miss the breakfast buffet I was on the phone so long, that it is in their hands to figure out as they have inherited me as their customer! We shall see what happens!
Here are my 3 thoughts for today. 1. Interesting bird with a nasty beak at the pool! 2. Andrew relaxing at the edge of the pool. 3. Doing laundry again in an open air laundry facility – just like we did in Thailand! Other than that – it was a chill day!
Tomorrow we are going on another road trip to see a zoo / animal refuge that comes highly recommended and has had some world wide exposure! More on that tomorrow! I hope you all had a relaxing day!
