August 1. Bid list out. Though, I have to keep reminding myself it will change many times until the final bids are due Oct 15.
Our criteria are simple: a pol/econ job for me, a consular job for Greg, and decent schools for the kids. Oh, and at the moment, we're not that thrilled about learning Chinese ... though we may have to change our minds on that factor given the preponderance of jobs available in China. Beggars can't be choosers when it comes to overeas assigments.
First blush as possible bids: Ho Chi Minh City, Rangoon, Delhi, Tashkent, Kampala, Maputo, and Bucharest. And the maybes: Managua, Ouagadougou, Kathmandu, Kyiv, Chisinau. And I'm sure that list will change many times.
Sorry for those of you who wanted to visit us in Tokyo, Osaka, Vienna, Paris or London. Looks like our gardent post job this bid cycle would be staying put in good-old-Washington DC. Not that that would be a bad thing - we do enjoy serving here - but figure we better try something overseas.
