Emergency Passport
Getting an emergency passport in New York City. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/where-to-apply/passport-agencies/new-york.html The Manhattan passport agency is located at 376 Hudson St, New York, NY 10014 They open at 7:30 am, but I advise getting there by 6 am or earlier - the lines will be long! *Note* - the agency was great! I was able to get a brand new passport in 3 hours, but keep in mind that you have to show evidence that you have a flight booked. I also advise getting passport pictures taken ahead of time - there is a small shop down the street that will take pictures, but I think they open around 7:30am.

I've got this 12 hour layover in the city, so I'm going to go check out a little bit of San Francisco. And I've left my bag at the airport travel agency, which is in the G section in terminal three, the international portion of the airport.
I figured out the public transit system and I'm here at Fishermen's Wharf, or at least the start of it. I forgot, I was here a long time ago. I used to come to San Francisco a couple of times. Fun shops, a lot of fun restaurants by the water. Big, big tourist spot. So funny, I was at the airport and I was asking one of the ladies if I need my scarf, is it really cold? She said, "Oh yes, it's freezing." It's so warm. I should not have worn this. It's beautiful sunshine weather, nice and nice spring weather for me compared to Korea. This is so much nicer.
I’ve been invited to join a select group of Yamaha representatives to visit Yamaha headquarters in Japan! I’m getting ready to leave tomorrow, and trying to decide what camera gear to bring along and what to leave behind. I hate checking bags, so I try to limit myself to carry on luggage only. And of course, with the coronavirus concerns, I’m learning how to put on face masks.
