Carnival 2012 Countdown is on...

It's just over 100 days till Carnival Monday 2012!

Some things to ponder:

  • Have you registered in that section/band of your choice?
    • What are ya waiting on?! 
    • There are soooo many options to choose from, bikini and beads bands, traditional-mishallesque, alternative and haute coutre. Lots and lots to choose from
  • Started looking at, or already purchased your boots? 
    • Are ya going boots, or some other footwear option?
    • Gonna get them decorated to complement that gorgeous costume?
  • Talking bout boots...are ya gonna go diva with anything else? 
    • Cups, bags, Monday wear, accessories, stockings...going down that route? How far?
  • Started that 'carnival body' programme
    • enrolled in gym
    • bought those P90X or Insanity DVDs
    • started walking...it's not all about best body, if you can't last the entire day!
    • monitoring portions, cutting back on the junk (nooo i will NOT eliminate it completely!), cutting back on carbs and flour (sigh...this may make be cry!)
    • scaling back on soft-drink intake, increase the amount of water you drink
  • Those overseas: 
    • have you booked that flight to T&T?
    • where are ya gonna stay? 
    • By now, both of these things should be booked...or at least reserved awaiting final downpayment
  • T&T residents
    • planning to stay at one of the hotels/guest houses/apartments in and around PoS?
    • Have you booked yet?
Above all this...have you determined your budget for carnival 2012? Are you planning to stick to a budget?
  • Costume cost
  • Costume accessories including boots
  • Fete options...planning to do all-inclusives, public fetes only, or budget-friendly. Or are you gonna forgo feting altogether? And if ya feting...what are ya wearing? 
  • Accomodation
  • Transport
  • Other Carnival limes
Hope I've given you some food for thought and spurred you to get a move on if you've lapsed anywhere.

The countdown is on...tick, tick, tick!
