It’s one of the place that I didn’t go since 1981. I usually visit Washington DC landmarks when friends or relatives from out of town comes to town. Because of heavy traffic to Ocean city and local beaches this weekend before school start, I decide to hit the National Zoo. There is no baby Panda this year. I went to National Zoo during a day long celebration for Asian elephants. New Elephant house is under construction.

The Nile hippopotamus is the talk of the town in August because he will be evict from the current elephant house. There must be political issue of Republican party to move from White House in the future because they are endanger species in 2009 . Sorry, just kidding … no more politic. National Zoo is free. It’s a good place for children or family place to visit. There is parking lot but you can take Metro on Red Line to National Zoo station.

If you need some money while working with Vietnamese on part-time by
on-call basis then it is a good job for you.

If you don’t have time to drive to Ocean City, Rehoboth, or Virginia Beach then you can drive within 30-60 minutes which is depending on where you are living in Washing D.C. Metropolitan. Along route 261, there are several beaches.

North Beach in Calvert County is small and surround by a fence. North Beach got nice sand, than Sandy Point state park. Out of town person requires to pay unless you are under 2. The Broadwalk go to the pier for fishing or hang out is free. There are plenty of two hours free parking and a big parking lot in front of the beach. The water is a little murky if you are walking and too much big stones under the water. You are not worry about the wave in the bay area. It’s good place for family with kid to hang out or take a break from the heat in the city during the summer.

Chesapeak Beach is about a mile south of North Beach. You can go out to fish on boat charter. About a mile after passing the hotel resort and water park, Bayfront Park has clean water than North Beach. It’s free but it doesn’t have shower area and bath room except portable toilets. This place is usually crowded than North Beach. You can save money if you don’t want to pay at North Beach so that you can go to water park on the way back. It’s hard to park in the park  so you probably park on the street if you are not lucky or coming late. However, the parking is free.

The anual bay festival is coming up on August 23 & 23 at North Beach. You can go to beach in the moring, afternoon or night and get back in town within less than hour. By the way, the BP station when you turn from Route 4 to Route 260 is the cheapest before hitting the beach. You don’t have to pump there because it will take only a few gallons of gas from your car.

Good morning,

We didn’t get any cancellation call on my mom flight from JetBlue yet. It’s really hard to get up early to give her a ride to the airport. I usually hate to write but this advertise is getting on my nerve. My Washington Post delivery person dropped the newspaper around 3:30 am in the morning. On Tuesday page A13, I got my eye on an advertise that I got problem when walking into a Wachovia bank yesterday when I try to open a CD account for her so that she can have some money for her retirement. After signing in around 9:45 AM and getting greeting from front desk man then he just walked away because he could not find any pen. After waiting for a pen from a front desk in Gaithersburg, Maryland … we didn’t get a chance to meet our new financial person by 1030 AM. It’s only one person before us until the time because she was on the phone with someone else. My mom told me in Vietnamese that we didn’t have to come here because we did come two weeks ago or last week when the advertise appeared on The Washington Post. I told my mom that it’s only a matter of time. Finally, we got greet from her and went to her office. I told her that my mom want the 4.00 % 7 month CD. She told me that my mom needs to open a new checking account. I told her that we didn’t want any problem with fees on the checking account. She told me that the account will not have any fees. Sure …. you can addd on later by changing the term on checking account while my mom is on vaction somewhere without an internet. I told her that I didn’t recall any mention or small print about the requirement of openning a checking account with a CD on the newspaper. She said no sorry. I told her that it’s fine with me because we will go to Bank of America. I told my mom to get out the Wachovia bank. I didn’t tell the lady from Wachovia that I already assisted my mom open a CD account at Bank of America with the same advertise rate on The Washington Post without opening any checking account.

The  advertise is misleading or false advertisement. The rate would be the average from other bank if my mom openned a checking account .

It might be one of the issue that you will face if your parent could not speak English or just a little bit. Oh, well … it’s better to travel non-stop because of the airline hassle with flight delay , miss connection flight, or at least no luggage fee on first luggage. I didn’t book Southwest from BWI airport because it’s not on sale. Despite my search for non-stop flight and having relative to pick up to eliminate the problem, I received a call  about the cancellation of my mom trip within 5 hours of departure time from home. However, the phone was cut off. I tried to log in JetBlue.com and change from there but the website gave me a ticket number of the website problem that begins with a letter “L” and follow with several numbers. By go back to the website to get the airline phone number to dial, I got to voicemail with select different option. I didn’t select any option because there was no option on cancellation except a warning that there will be a service charge if I didn’t use the website. How can I use the website if it generated an error page with its error ticket number? Ah … there will be a five minutes wait before a human from Utah (not from oversea?) and tell me how to change the flight on the website without a fee … Nice … but I prefer to wait for a human voice. Finally at the clock tick down to almost 5 minutes, a lady is willing to help me because of my problem of access the website. After asking confirmation number, plight number, travel name, she asked if the weather is bad overthere. I said “no” and then said “I didn’t check the weather in Oakland. She said something about the weather problem … ok … by looking at the weather.com there is only cloudy and few rain drop in Oakland. Whatever … I asked if my mom could travel today. She said no and tell me that my mom could flight out tomorrow on early morning schedule. After arrange a change in schedule, I asked if I will be change a penalty on changing the schedule by phone. She said no. I can log in to JetBlue.com again by clicking the email from JetBlue about my mom cancellation but I didn’t need it. JetBlue is not that bad on customer service after seeing the horror on the face of people during February snow storm.

The sky is cleared on Monday, July 28, 2008 in Washington DC. I hope that she won’t get a call about cancellation at 3 am in the morning because  I’m not Hillary Clinton to solve airline problem in Washington DC Oh BWT, at 3 o’clock Vietnamese farmers are already working in Vietnam.
