I hate looking for things, finding them, then having to wait to get things done. UGH! The worst is with apartment hunting. I found the perfect apartments for us, but I have to wait a few months to apply. I wish I could just apply now and be ready to move on March first. I wonder if there is a penalty for applying this early? It couldn’t really hurt, right? I mean, that would ensure we get our prime spot for March. Then we wouldn’t be all last minute getting it done, either. This year March crept up on us so fast we forgot that we wanted to move. That will definitely not be the case in 2009.

We took a small trip to Niagara Falls on Thursday afternoon, came back Friday night…Saturday was busy down where we used to live and this morning was church. I do have pictures, but none are uploaded yet. I just wanted to let you know that I am still alive, though thoroughly exhausted. I want to go back up and do the Canada side of the falls, Maid of the Mist, Cave of Winds, and maybe even the full park trolley tour (because my calves are STILL trying to peel themselves off from my leg bones).

Yeah we are definitely in the market for a new place to live. March next year, we plan to have secured a new place in Delaware or lower Pennsylvania. I was kind of hoping to be able to rent a house, then I wouldn’t have to get rid of Coby, but it looks like we won’t be finding any miraculous deals in time. *sigh* (keep that one in prayer for us, would you?) The mortgage lenders can keep on truckin’ , because I am not even trying to hear anything about buying a house. We got burned so bad the first time we tried, that it has left a permanent scar on what I want to do as far as house living. I have found a few really nice places all in the same area of Delaware. I just have to go check them out and see what we need to do in order to move in March.

I am so glad that we bought that brand new luggage set last year before our trip to Puerto Rico. Those bags have come in handy. Puerto Rico, my friend’s wedding, his cousin’s wedding, and a few other overnight ventures…those bags have paid for themselves. I just wish they had been purple instead of blue. LOL

It’s not just a trip. We have a wedding to attend. I was just looking at driving time & expense versus flying, what types of presents we could buy for the happy couple, where we will be staying, etc. I don’t know whether to get them wine gifts to go along with the wine glasses they have on their list or not. It might be a good idea, since they are planning to actually use the wine glasses at some point.
This trip should be a lot of fun. We are staying for the entire weekend of the wedding in Newport. Can you say mini honeymoon? I can. I have been going on and on about it since the Man made the plan!

Just when I thought it was safe to check out travel health insurance… I find out that we might not get to go to Puerto Rico this year after all. *sigh* What can you do? Home life always comes before travel. It was a nice dream. I am hoping that we can still salvage the trip, but it might not happen.

I just got wind that the next blog convention will be in Florida. I guess that means I won’t be booking any Vegas hotels any time soon. I have never been to Florida or Vegas, but they are both on my short list of places to visit before I die. I hope that I can make it to this convention. I think the airfare is cheaper than to Vegas anyway. Who knows what will happen by nearly the end of the year? Maybe I will be rolling in cash and won’t have to worry about it by then. *crosses fingers*

We were going through our paperwork from the last trip we took to Puerto Rico to figure out how much we are going to spend this time. Since we are planning to be gone 2 weeks instead of 8 days all expenses being there are increased. Getting there we will need:
2 weeks of kennel: $200 (at least)
Renter’s Insurance ($20/month)
travel insurance ($100)
food ($120)
gas (to be determined)
So far that’s all I can think of outside of the tickets & car ($1400). I just hope that we get enough back in our taxes to cover EVERYTHING much like last time. We also need a ride to and from the airport since we can’t leave from Wilmington this time.
