Jason "Njiska" Westhaver http://njiska.com GravityTap.jpgApparently this was announced yesterday, but it's just now come to my attention. Inbev, the worlds second largest brewer and owner of practically every brand I drink, has made an offer of purchase to Anheuser-Busch and the offer has been accepted by the companies Board of Directors. The price paid for the world's third largest brewing company? $70 a share or approx. $49.9-52 Billion.

Granted the deal is still no final until it is approved by the share holders, but given that the offer is $4 more then today's closing price, I can't see it being rejected. Looks like Anheuser-Busch Inbev is going to be the new top dog in the world's beer market.

Jason "Njiska" Westhaver http://njiska.com Manchester_city_coa.pngTook some time today to figure out the costs of my UK trip. So far things are coming in line with my expectations.

Airfare will be approx. $1100, whith an addition $150 if i visit my friend in Gurnsey. Hiring a car would be about $800 counting under-25 fees and 80L of petrol, but I can't find a place that will let me hire the car for a one way trip, so chances are I'll be taking the train. Since it saves me nearly a grand, I really don't mind.

The big problem right now is how I'm going to book the tickets. I'm planning to pay for them largely with my 2 tax refunds ($958), but those won'te cover the whole total so i'll need to use some of my severance. This wasn't a bigg deal at first, but now that I'm not getting my money until the 11th of July, it complicates things a lot. Don't have room on a CC right now and I really don't want to raise my credit again.. Hopefully somethign will work out there.

Estimated plan:
Flight Date Cost Tax Final Conversion
Ottawa-London Gatwick 19-Jul-08 $329.00 $177.75 $506.75 506.75
London Gatwick-Gurensey 20-Jul-08 £11.94 £28.70 40.64 81.56
Gurnsey-London Gatwick 21-Jul-08 £31.94 £11.40 43.34 86.98
Manchester-Toronto 1-Aug-08 $349.00 $272.20 $621.20 621.20
Total Airfare 1,296.48
