So I am flying out to CA on Thursday. I hope to spend the first weekend in the Napa Valley. Then I am apparently flying to Phoenix for several days before flying back for my brothers wedding. He is getting married in La Honda on a friends ranch. Should be a fun time. We are staying at a B & B in Pescadero. Should be a very relaxing time.

Nice, have fun. I have a few friends that were just in Napa or somewhere close.

I assume that's good, otherwise you would have made a more sad post?

A little good and bad. I failed audit, but thought I had done OK on multiple choice and not as good on simulations. But I actually did pretty good on sims and not so good on MC. I really wasn't expecting to pass it first try but when I was done I felt ok about it and thought I had a decent chance of passing.

I passed Business Environments & Concepts (Economics type stuff mostly). I thought at best I might barely pass with 75, but I got an 80, no idea how. I had to have made some correct guesses on the MC taht were 50/50 at best.

Overall I'm happy I passed at least one of them so I can just focus on one test next quarter and hopefully finish up first quarter of 2013.

Halfway done with the CPA exam. The last two sections I've taken have gone the exact opposite of what I thought walking out of the exam.

So Vegas in June??? Also, how does everyone feel about renting a cabin in the early Spring somewhere and hanging out?

Yes

Maybe

So for an army trip next year I'm proposing a few options:

Baseball game and other shenanigans in some major US city

Comic Con in San Diego

Washington DC tourism and shenanigans with the Shavers (though, we can't do the White House with Normy, but that's okay, we can skip that landmark).


New York City tourism appeals to me, too. Though September tennis doesn't really work out for me in terms of timing, but a Broadway show and New York shenanigans and tourism sounds fun.

I like the last two options best. I've never been to NY or DC, and we could catch a baseball game and shenanigans in either place. Is Norm banned from the WH?
