On the docket for today, picking up the Nissan X-trail up north at the dealers! Now, don't get overly excited as here's how I have to do it.
1. Get girls to school south of town.
2. Go downtown to the Central Business District (CBD) to drop off the car. Think any major metro downtown-super tall buildings, lots of 1 way streets, and a GPS that gets confused amongst the tall buildings. The carpark is on a different street than the rental office. . .
3. Walk to the bank branch downtown to get a bank cheque for the car. Goobye another $40 for bank cheque fees.
4. Call dealer-someone will come downtown to pick up me and Ian. Hurrah! No need to get a bus up North.
5. Drive car back to furniture rental office and put deposit on temporary furniture. We'll be reimbursed for it. They should deliver on Thursday!
6. Find a mobile internet provider-may take up to 20 working days to get internet connected and working. And, just to keep it more fun, they will be sending updates via email. Really, while I have no access to internet?
7. Somehow set up online banking (still don't have pin numbers) and get our 1st installment for our rent paid on Friday.
Anyway it goes, it is getting better by the day. Normal is simply a state of mind, right?
