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!
