The past five days .. dating back to last Friday the 19th of July .. have been an absolute 'whirlwind' of activity .. so much so that I simply did not have the time nor more importantly I have not had the 'focus' to post updates here on a daily basis!
When Clement, his family and I planned their first visit here to the United States .. the first and the absolute top-priority was to successfully purchase a vehicle.
This was completed Monday. They now own a 2004 Ford Escape complete with a 90-day or 4,000 mile Ford Motor Company official warranty.
This was a project! We had to shop and to find the proper vehicle. Then we had to purchase and to arrange automobile insurance for the vehicle. With the three of them all being residents of France .. we had a 'few hurdles' to jump over. With them being able to use my home of 76-years as their 'home of residence' here in the USA .. and with the assistance of Joe Cicala .. an experienced employee of the phenomenal Royal Oak Ford automobile dealership with their 'considerable connections' in the automobile business .. especially with regard to the purchasing of automobile insurance .. we successfully consummated the purchase of their 'new' 2004 Ford Escape. Joe .. we really needed you with your years of experience. Thank You so very much Joe!
They now have to wait for (1) the metal license plates .. they have a temporary paper license plate in the rear window of their Ford Escape .. and (2) the receipt via-the-mail of the proper title .. before the purchase is 100% complete. It will take from 7 to 10 days before this is all finished.
In the meantime .. Patti and I return to Alaska this Friday and Saturday the 26th and 27th. So Clement and his family will remain 'based' here in Royal Oak until this final phase of the purchase is complete.
OH-BY-THE-WAY .. we now have Clement a USA based cell phone and a Garmin GPS system to guide them on their travels.
Clement and his family now plan to drive west from Detroit to Chicago tomorrow July 25th and to meet Patti and I in Chicago Friday evening the 26th as we await our flight to Anchorage on Saturday morning. Patti and I will travel to Chicago on the Amtrak Railroad train.
Lots and LOTS more but too much to detail here.
MUCH JOY FROM .. Cap and Patti and from our French Connection .. Clement and Patricia and Merlin!
