Can't argue with that. I would say that Donna doesn't do boats and even our cross channel ferry makes her green. Disney Magic - mo problem. I think the bigger the boat the less issue it is .

So sorry for your dear DWifey about the smaller boats, but, so glad to hear she is much better on the bigger ones...!!!
Fortunately, and so far (knocking on my wood head ) I don't do green on anything...!!!!!

Happy New Year everyone! May all your dreams come true in 2018.
In the Netherlands people are allowed to shoot of fireworks tonight and some people started early. This is taken from my sister's apartment in Breda.

We are looking to 2020 for our next trip to the world. It will give SWL a time to ease off . And time to save to hopefully for Wilderness lodge.

EDIT ; And because Bermuda has a new airport opening early 2020

I love that Jimmy Buffett song too. I keep meaning to record it on my iPhone (and then save it into my itunes) but I haven't gotten around to it. Next time I watch it I will. My favorite parts are when he sunburns and puts the Noxema on his face and the owners of the house come home and the end. My hubs is not such a fan of silly comedies like that, he rolls his eyes at me when I want to watch them.

Oldest dd just helped me download it from YouTube and then converted it for me and synced it to my phone. Kids can be helpful at times.

We did for awhile but we don't want to sit in the dark all evening.
At midnight when the fireworks really start it will be completely dark.

I vote for the new car, if you think you'll have to start pumping money into your current car it is best to just go new. I am a Chevy girl myself but I have heard a lot of good things about Toyotas and the last rental we had was a Camry as well it was really nice. It would be tempting to look into if I needed a new car.

And that cup holder thing is really important, and I'm not being sarcastic either. I have a 2008 Equinox and I really love the car except the cup holder situation. There are really awkward to get to and if someone else is in the car it is even more so. I remember getting a survey within the first year of owning my car and I complained a lot about the placement of the cup holders. Fast forward a couple years, I was looking inside of one on display at Epcot and lo and behold the cup holders in the new one were in a much better location! I don't think it was a result of just my complaints, but I think they must have had many complaints.

Mom came from a Ford family and pop came from a Chevrolet family.
The only reason I'm driving the 17+ year old Chevy Malibu that I am now is 'cause it was, essentially (someone owed my pop a favor and wouldn't take no for an answer, mom and pop didn't need the car, and, my second bulletproof Hyundai was finally on the way out, sooo...) free...!!!!!
So far, even as old as it it is (again, knocking on my wooden head ) it has only shredded a fuel pump. Yep, the impeller blades on the fuel pump were made of plastic. I hoped they had begun to make them out of something stronger after that, but, nope...the mechanic informed me they are still plastic. Well, one way or another , at least I won't own that car when the next one goes out if on the same schedule...!!!

For some reason , youngest DD felt the need to trade her GMC truck in for a Chevy Traverse. Beautiful vehicle and drives so nice...but, nothing but an injector problem PITA. 3 so far, 3 more to go
Before she bought it, I told her my THH rule for myself when actually having to pay for a car...those are Toyota, Honda, Hyundai.
I don't care what the cost difference is up front (within reason, of course), but you'll save money out the beeeeehind in the long run.
She is now also in the market for another vehicle and looking at Toyotas...!!!
Also, DWifey is still driving her 2010 Toyota Camry without problem one...!!!!!!!

I could care less about cup holders in a car 'cause my whiskey bottles never fit in them anyway...
Wait...........did I just post that out loud

And, in closing...
New is awesome, but, but you're always gonna' get way more than your money's worth on about a 1-1.5 year old car with low mileage...!!!
