The visa will be affixed to your passport. It must have at least two blank pages. You can stay for 90 days; if you want to stay longer you must request this at a Federal Police Department in Brazil within 30 days of arrival. You cannot stay for more than 180 days per year. Visa applied for in person at the Consulate General in Miami ($140) take 5 working days. Visa applied for by post or through a travel agent ($160) take three weeks. The requirements can be found here: http://www.brazilmiami.org/eng/visas_vitur.php ..

About how can I travel on the road for 9 hours with a baby

How can I travel on the road for 9 hours with a baby?
Me and the wife are going on our first vacation to the keys since we had our baby. She is worried about the ride for the baby cause it is 9 hours. How can we make it easier for all of us and no I couldn't get it closer to jacksonville (which is our home) cause of our timeshare week plus we are meeting family there. The baby is 6 months.

Give yourself plenty of time to get there. Maybe one of you should sit in the back with him/her to sooth her.
2 :
Your baby should be fine. Just make sure to stop every few hours and take your baby out of the carseat to stretch and feed and stuff. I traveled 30 hours in a car with my 2 month old son and he was brilliant the whole way...slept like a ...well a baby!
3 :
Well, if the baby usually sleeps at night try to do most of your driving then so as not to disturb the babies schedule. 9 hours is a long time but it will probably take longer because you'll need to stop and take the baby out and let them move around and stretch. I would really just make sure you give yourself extra time and try not to rush it.
4 :
Like at home, you have to do everything around the baby's schedule. You want the baby to sleep in the car and never any other time. You may want to think about traveling more at night. The baby will sleep and you'll make better time. During the day plan lots of stops - at least every 3 hours but be flexible because you only want to stop when the baby is awake. Have lots of toys and something with lights or music, like a crib soother you can strap in your car. I had to do it with my 7 month old and your wife is right - its horrible. I'll never do it again. Also bring infant tylenol and oragel - my kid started teething during the road trip and it took forever to find a place that sold that stuff.
5 :
umm my best advice to you is to just give yourselves plenty of time to get there. Give your baby a toy or two, and then switch out so the baby doesn't get bored. When the baby gets fussy you should stop and get out and walk around and stuff. And you have to stop every now and then to feed him/her and change their diaper. It won't be that big of a problem though, don't worry. Just make sure that everything's packed and that you have what you're going to need ready :)
6 :
Your baby should sleep most of the way. When you stop to refuel, take your baby out of the car seat and let them stretch, change the diaper and head back on the road. When the baby gets fussy have your wife sit in the back seat and feed the baby or she could talk to him/her so they wont be so fussy.
7 :
I've done this with both my girls when they were around the same age and it was a 10 hour trip. Is ur bub bottle fed? If so it's handy if they can either hold the bottle themselves or you can prop it up on a cushion so it sits in their mouth..You'll find that the car will relax them and bub will probably drift in and out of sleep..Keep a bucket of toys and books next to the carseat and mummy will have to do some occupying.. We only stopped once for lunch and a nappy change..it was a smooth trip for both.. I'm sure you'll live..good luck
8 :
It's definitely do-able. How depends on your baby. My two kids were completely different in the car. The first one would typically be lulled to sleep so you could get a few hours driving in before you needed to stop. The second HATED being in the car and we could drive for an hour or maybe two before stopping. And a stop with a baby is not a quick bathroom stop like it is for you. It's break time/play time. Keep that in mind so you're not chomping at the bit to get back on the road. You know what makes your baby happy, whether it's mirrors (DS1) or girl bands (DS2). Go with what you know.

About Attractions besides Universal & Sea world in Jacksonville, Florida (preferably indoor)

Attractions besides Universal & Sea world in Jacksonville, Florida (preferably indoor)?
I am traveling to Jacksonville Florida Nov. 28th-Dec 4th and i was hoping someone could give me some fun attractions 20 year olds can enjoy besides Universal and Sea World. We are going to visit a friend, who wants us to go to Universal, but you can go to an amusement park anywhere & we're not fond of amusement parks Any Suggestions?

Universal Studios Florida and Sea World are in Orlando, about three and a half hours to the south.

Go to the Submarine museum in St. Marys GA, then take a boat ride to Cumberland island, it's a nature presurve with wild horses and other animals, about 30 min north. In Jacksonville the MOSH is good also,its about science and history. A lot of people go to the landing to party.
3 :
Well, there aren't any hoopla attractions like in Orlando but there is the Museum of Science and History (MOSH) as the person said above. Basically, it showcases Jacksonville history and has really cool science shows. The best part about it is the planetarium where you sit and look up at the ceiling at "stars". You also have the Jacksonville Zoo, the beaches, St. Augustine....Really important website below

About i have a 15lbs miniature schnauzer. What's the best carrier for air travel

i have a 15lbs miniature schnauzer. What's the best carrier for air travel?
I am flying from houston to jacksonville and want to take my schnauzer. She weights 15 lbs. The most comfortable carrier for her i think is a large sherpa. Has anyone traveled with a 15lbs dog? What carrier did you use? Was it comfortable, did it fit? I am traveling continental air.

my dear little mutt was about that size when I flew her from DFW to San Francisco. Not sure what size a "large Sherpa" is, but we used a Doskocil (now called Petmate), I think a medium size. Dog has to be able to stand up and turn around; not good to have it too much bigger than dog itself. Put her blanket and "lovey" in so she will be comfortable, may be better if you skip feeding her morning of the flight. Am sure you know you need to let CO know you will be bringing her!

About any discounted furniture stores near Jacksonville, NC

Any discounted furniture stores near Jacksonville, NC?
I am traveling down to Jacksonville, NC to help my fiance move back home (he's getting out of the Marine Corps). Anyway, we plan on getting an apartment within the next couple of months and we've heard that North Carolina is the furniture capital and that it has amazing prices. If anybody has any recommendations for stores it would be greatly appreciated. We definitely do like the nicer things and one of the major items we would like to purchase is a sectional sofa. Thanksss :)

It is true however the pricing found in The NC furniture market is to licensed furniture retailers. They're are a few exceptions. You'll have to do your homework. There are many companies claiming to sell wholesale to the public and if you have really shopped and know your stuff you'll will find they're a fraud. Your best bet is to look for legit dealer you know. Follow their sales and close out and liquidations. You can find good deals this way. Sometimes they advertise them on places like Craigs List and Backpage.com
