Did a very modest celebration of Decy's birthday .... we were going to go to Hard Rock Cafe ... but they were doing a band audition there and it sounded like they cranked up the music to 95 decibels ... we went elsewhere.  Not a particularly exciting evening for Decy (sadly) ... but it was (a) Monday night, and (b) followed a very busy day of house and car activities.  Nevertheless, we were together ... and we wish her the very best for her birthday.

Decy went back to the Palm house ... put the "punch list" together and submitted that to our agent for forwarding to the owner.  The owner received the offer yesterday; hopefully, we will here some type of response today ... he is in bandung (about 2-3 hours a way by car) and won't be back in town until Saturday ... but he is contactable via phone and email.  In the meantime, we scheduling all the inspections/audits.

On the cars, Decy is checking out insurance for the cars; she is getting two quotes.  I'm not sure I understand the coverages, but she is an Indonesian insurance expert ... so she is well qualified ... cost for the two cars will be approx US$1,800/yr.

This Thursday or Friday Decy will make the final payments on both cars.  We are hopeful to collect the CrV on Friday or Monday (15th or 18th) ... the Fortuner won't be ready for a week or two after that.

Gotta run ... time to go to work.

ciao ciao
