I have to get the passport renewed. That probably takes us into late January or February sometime for the trip. We definitely want to get down to Nazareth, so visiting at Susan's place will be perfect. I don't think they're very far from Nazareth.

Other than that, I'd like to make a visit to Elderly Instruments in Lansing, Michigan. I've been hearing about that place for years, and I'd sure like to see their lineup of guitars and other accessories.

We have our doubts about bringing our guitars down across the border, given all the weird stuff that's going on with Rosewood guitars now. I certainly don't want some over-zealous customs agent deciding to sieze one of my favorite instruments because he can't tell the difference between Brazilian Rosewood and East Indian Rosewood.
