A Cruel Twist of Fate

The Consolidator Moving Company we were using CARMACK MOVING (don't ever use these people, ever!) have decided that we were both scammed by the man who ran away with the money, even though they hired him as one of their sub-contractors. They want us to cover the costs to hire a new contractor and re-ship the goods. Needless to say we have refused, issued a charge-back on our credit card and are now negotiating the release of our stuff. It is a total nightmare. We know one thing for sure - we won't have any furniture or stuff when we arrive in Nassau on the 30th. Looks like we are camping in Paradise.

I told Emily last night that a man ran away with our money and we had to pay all over again and she said, "that's a bummer!" Well put. I told her we would be camping and she said, "cool!" At least one of us is excited. Michelle and I were talking last night and remembering that when we moved to the States we slept (all four of us) on a mattress on the floor with coats for our blankets for a month. I can't really say that Emily will be suffering - she won't be cold and she gets to take a dip in the pool whenever she feels hard done by!
