Today\u2019s big news is we received our first package from the states.\u00a0 There were a few things we needed, so Courtney collected them for us, put them in a small box and shipped them to us.\u00a0 We thought it was about time to figure out how to get a package delivered.\u00a0 This was a very important lesson for us to learn.\u00a0 IT\u2019S WAY TOO HARD TO MAKE THIS WORK OUT!<\/p>\n

The cost for shipping seemed pretty expensive for a small box.\u00a0 Then, when it arrived, the shipper emailed us, telling us we needed a detailed list of what was in the box, including value\/prices.\u00a0 Saying it was \u201codds and ends\u201d wasn\u2019t good enough.\u00a0 Judy spent quite a bit of time filling out all the forms correctly.\u00a0 A few days later, the shipper contacted Judy again, saying she couldn\u2019t read the forms we had scanned, and could she please redo it?<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days later we received a note saying our dollar total for the items in the box didn\u2019t match the total Courtney listed, and which did we want to use?\u00a0 We went with Courtney\u2019s total, and waited for the delivery.\u00a0 By this time, we were on our way to Hong Kong.\u00a0 It was being delivered to BISS, so someone would be there to sign for it.\u00a0 Yesterday, Judy was told she needed to pay an additional $70 tax on the items in the box (some kind of a luxury tax).\u00a0 She left the money at the front desk this morning, and the package finally arrived.\u00a0 Whew, that was work!<\/span><\/p>\n

At the Marriot this afternoon I spotted a really nice looking Bentley.\u00a0 It\u2019s a big improvement over the pink one we talked about on October 26. \u00a0You can check back for that picture if you\u2019re curious.<\/span><\/p>\n
