If you look at the OP's 3rd comment, you'll haz the same sad as me.... I need a beer now, this guy claims to be 17 years in the IT biz...
At first I read that as the OP was 17 years old.
Whooops, so did I.
And I would expect that sort of thread from a 17 year old. But not a 40-plus w/ some alphabet soup in his title.

Yeah, when it was a 17 year old it seemed not unreasonable.

How are you setting all of this up? using AirBNB? How do you find all of these places to rent for a month?
AirBNB, VRBO, etc. Dominica is a whiz at this stuff. This place in Galveston is a holiday stop for us, so one month is not the norm. Our home in Crete is for the full 90 days of our visas.
How does the visa process work? You apply for a tourist visa and you get it? Or is there more to it?
It totally depends on your nationality. We carry US Passports at the moment, exclusively, but are working on that. Greece is a Schengen member, so their visa is shared with all of the Schengen. As Americans, the 90 day tourist and work visa is automatic and paperless. Most Americans aren't even aware that a visa exists (hence how my friends got trapped with nowhere to go in Europe because they didn't realize that they had to track their visas) because they are so easy.
So we get 90 days, no questions asked as we arrive in Athens. Once that visa expires we have to be outside of the Schengen for 95 days before going back in. To bypass this we would have to petition the Greek government for a Schengen visa extension. The extension would limit us to Greece, though, and not the Schengen which is very important to understand. It would not stop us from getting another 90 days in Denmark, though, also automatic.
Sign me up for Denmark... Of course I have an unfair advantage... I have family there.

I'm always afraid someone at SW will audit all the garbage I post and realize there's no way I should be at whatever spice level I am lol

I am now the hero here..... boss comes over and says "we have a problem - we need the data off this old external USB drive but it's not detected in windows" I say "let me see...." it's an ancient Maxtor giant enclosure with a 3.5" IDE drive inside (yep). I un-carefully pry the case apart (broke the shit out of it), and then they say "we need this data NOW, tonight". Ok brain, time to do your thing... thinking... thinking..... EUREKA!!!! Our old crappy training PCs still have IDE optical drives! Great success!!! But then the newer USB drive the owner has for the transfer is USB 3.0..... so it was acting stupid. I said, in my best Nick Burns voice "MOVE!!!" I made a folder on the owner's desktop and quickly transferred the whopping 1.3 GB of data.... all files moved successfully, both bosses happy and smiling, my stock just shot up a few points, and it's almost time to go home. So.....

That is on purpose.
How do you learn how fast 60 miles an hour it's well that's because you drive it all the time learned you understand it so the only way to learn metric system is that what you understand it otherwise they're just numbers don't mean anything
-
@JaredBusch Yepp!

I'd be happy if I could get woke up good. -
Good morning everyone. Just getting up here. Sun is just rising on the gulf, it is very nice.
