Choices

Sometimes, I prefer not to have too many choices. Especially when it comes to things you can't reason with, for example paint colours. Selecting the colours for the house was a real horror but in the end, we managed to decide within a few days. We now live with the consequences of having being inspired by my company's colour theme for Winnie The Pooh.

Then last week, we were trying to decide what kind of car to get to replace his car. That sort of boiled down to how much we could afford at this point, so the elimination process went fairly well. Also, facts like how much it would cost to service or repair, the convenience of where it can be serviced, all play an important part of this decision.

Now, our main decision is to decide where to go for our honeymoon which is by the end of next month. Problem is, there is the MATTA fair starting tomorrow and we have to really juggle trying to decide WHERE to go, how much do we want to spend. If we go back to NZ, the flight would cost around the same if we went to Paris or Los Angelas! Of course, we also have to consider exchange rates, but boy! We are almost at our wits end with all the promotional prices flung by all the local travel agencies. Firstly, where? Secondly, which travel agent? We'd need to go from one agent to another to find out who is the cheapest, meaning, we need to be at the fair where a hundred thousand people will be crammed in that small hall. Thirdly, what do we do there? Stay in backpackers? Buy a packaged land tour?

If only there were like 5 travel agents with offers, then selecting the cheapest one will be easy. Gosh, the stress of holidays is taking it's toll on us even before we start on our holiday!
