14262. arkymalarky - 3/22/2005 1:30:37 AM I learned to pack light from spending weeks at a time in CO. A nice lady in Dillards Department store (customer, not employee) told me the underwear tip before we went to Europe a few years ago, and another friend told me about rolling clothes, which was VERY helpful.
I'm going to a three-day conference in WV in a couple of weeks, and it says casual throughout. Not sure what I'll pack yet, but it should be pretty easy to get ready for.
Judith, I wish you could see my hair. It looks VERY different from yesterday when y'all left. It's much better and will be easy to keep up with. About shoulder length, but no frizz or waves now. Of course I'll have to see what it looks like tomorrow, but it's an improvement no matter what. 14263. arkymalarky - 3/22/2005 1:32:01 AM When did you say your beach trip was, MsNo? 14264. wabbit - 3/22/2005 2:01:40 AM Gotcha! 14265. wabbit - 3/22/2005 2:03:04 AM That was to Jay...

14269. iiibbb - 3/22/2005 2:18:26 PM Thanks everyone... 14270. Ms. No - 3/22/2005 5:03:18 PM Can't congratulate you enough iiibbb. This is wonderful news! 14271. Ms. No - 3/22/2005 5:16:21 PM Arx,
I'm leaving this Saturday and won't be back 'til the following Saturday.
I was just talking with my brother about the trip and realizing that I haven't taken a beach vacation since the last time I went with my family more than 10 years ago.
Maybe it's because I live in L.A., but I just don't take beach vacations anymore. I like to go to cities or other countries or to visit specific people. Living where I do I can be at the beach in 30-40 minutes, in the mountains in 2hrs or desert in the same amount of time. I don't really take advantage of those things like I should, but they're still there.
What I really want to do is drive up to see Hearst Castle and camp-out near Big Sur. That's a good weekend trip. I've camped there before, but I skipped Hearst Castle because it would have been a stop on the way home from a 3-day camping trip with my college girlfriends and believe me, after one of our trips all anyone wants to do is get home to a shower and a real bed. 14272. arkymalarky - 3/22/2005 8:46:31 PM A week at the beach sounds like just the ticket.
I had a Keoni biscuit for breakfast today, and had one for supper last night.
I have three more breakfasts' worth. Yum. 14273. Ms. No - 3/22/2005 10:38:22 PM Definitely worth rationing!
I'm rationing books at the moment hoping I'll have enough to get me through the vacation. I've got a couple on Order from Barnes and Noble but they may not come in time, ditto some from Amazon.
I figure as long as I've got four or five I should be okay. 14274. Macnas - 3/22/2005 10:40:58 PM Hmm I sometimes think that too, then a few days later it's 2.30 a.m. and I'm finishing the last book.... 14275. Ms. No - 3/22/2005 10:59:05 PM yeah, it could end up like that, but I'll be there with 14 family members and we play a lot of cards and there will be manic children to toss in the pool so I'm thinking (hoping really) that I'll be okay.
It's the only thing I might actually overpack. I've got 6 unread books at the house right now if I can manage to keep my mitts off them until I leave.
Of course there's the 6 hour plane flight to get through. 14276. Ms. No - 3/22/2005 11:00:21 PM If only two or three of the books I've got on order would come in before I leave town then I'd breathe easy. 14277. alistairConnor - 3/22/2005 11:03:02 PM Ah yes ... beach... 14 family members ... manic children to toss in the pool ... been there.
But the flight was more like 36 hours.
Three weeks. Two books, I think. 14278. Macnas - 3/22/2005 11:05:41 PM Two books in three weeks?
You slo-bo. 14279. Ms. No - 3/22/2005 11:15:51 PM Yes, but it was War & Peace and the Oxford English Dictionary...unabridged. 14280. Macnas - 3/23/2005 12:02:36 AM War and Peace...unabridged....how about thrown off a bridge? 14281. Macnas - 3/23/2005 12:03:36 AM Now I must go home.
I'm taking a break of a few days over Easter, and heading to Galway. See yez all next week.
