And hereI bet you thought I disappeared again. Well I haven't so there.
In fact we had a meeting last night and I have some updates for you about that and a few other things, but first let me tell you why I haven't been around much.
Well we decided to buy a new car. If you have ever bought a new car you will understand that it is a stressful process to research what kind and then try to get the best deal. We finally decided on the car we are buying..a Prius Alpha...also known as Prius V in the states. Although Japan has different options available. Then we have been in negotiation with Toyota. The problem is in Japan it's not just Toyota (1 company) It's actually 4 companies using the Toyota name. So anyway we thought we had the best deal and even started te process, but then another company that we had also met with us called us back and changed their original offer. That beat the company we had decided on. Now we are trying to decide to cancel with this company and go back to the original. It's all been stressful. Either way we will have a new car by the middle of March...ordered and delivered.
Now if you are worried that it wiil take away from the cruise money...don't worry...it shouldn't. things are going to be tight, but it should all still be fine.
Now to the meeting. Last night was about excursions and other general info. It seems everyone is still in. We kind of all decided we want to do the stingray excursion at
Castaway Cay and a few are thinking of parasailing.
We were also excited about the New Years Eve party and the rumor of free Champagne.
Still contemplating how to get to the port...limo...van...bus.
We also talked about magnets for the door, but I said I had to contact my magnet maker.
He is in the middle of a TR right now though and I don't want to stop his creative flow.
He would use it as an excuse.
Anyway things are going well.
Diet update. It's going well also...although not perfect. I'm under a 100 KGs now...about 225 pounds which means I lost 6 kilos are about 15 pounds. I have a goal to lose about 30 more pounds before the cruise, with the knowledge that I will put some of that back on.
Ok back to car research for now.
