Re: Accommodation and rentals

Re: Has anyone brought a TV home

I didn't bring home my two one year old Samsung smart tv's. Sold them to a friend.

Re: Bank Question

I didn't have an HSBC bank in Dallas so they had me come to NYC to fill in the remainder of the paperwork. I managed to schedule it the same week as my daughter's wedding in NYC.
