Well everyone, thanks so much for reading, posting and even "lurking" on my thread. It's been fun.
I leave for Mecca on tomorrow afternoon, and still have alot to do. So just in case I didn't have time to post later, I thought I'd do so now
One thing that I almost forgot to buy, that is starting to be a tradition with me on trips, is a cheap Target digital watch. I started doing this after going to the beach a few times, and not wanting to get my "nice" waterproof watch wet. So now, when I go into the pool, I won't flinch when I put my arm in the water, and if it breaks or get stolen, it was ONLY 10 bucks!

The first one I bought about 4 years ago was lavendar with sparkles! Where else can you wear a watch like that but on vacation? This time the one I bought is black, waterproof, has a velcro band, lights up when you press a button, and has an alarm function.
After buying a few more things, I finally started to pack. I am SO happy that I have enough outfits. I know that people do laundry so they can pack less and not run out of clothes, but I didnt want to HAVE to do laundry. So I am proud to say that I think I have enough outfits this time! Of course I'm going to do a recount later today, but I think I've done it! I even followed other people's advice and packed some of my things with those LARGE zip-lock bags. I do believe that it's left me with more room in my suitcase!
Today was my hair day. I took my braids out, and got my hair done. My hair is so shiney and bouncey, and I'm feeling sooooo girly. But I can't help but wonder, "What in the world will I look like by day 3 when I meet up with some of my fellow DISers?" Perhaps I should take a picture of "GMAX less than 24 hours fresh from the hair salon". I really fear that by Monday, I'll look like this

But we'll see . . .
With time ticking down, I'm still going to try to clean the house, so I can come back to a sparkling home! I have to leave notes with the neighbors, and make sure that I've turned everything OFF. Strangely enough, the weather here has been quite cool - the low 70s - so I havent had to turn on the air. So I'm leaving this weather to sweat like a PIG and walk about 10 miles a day

At least I'll be eating well. By the time I do meet up with the gang on Monday they'll be thinking "Gmax isn't bring sexy back, she's bring FAT back!!!!
Again, thanks for reading everyone! I promise to start early on my next trip report with pictures!
Next Season on the GMAX trip report . . .
Was Gmax able to clean her house before her trip?
Did she buy a digital camcorder the day before she left?
Will Gmax ride the Tower of Happiness?
