Well, with the trip to Cabo less than a day away, the 8 hour at work seemed more like 18! It was one of those days where you look at the clock and then look back again and low and behold only 5 minutes have passed (if that!). I started making a list of the items that I wanted to pack for Cabo. I started putting outfits together in my mind, after all you can never be too prepared.
First stop after I finally left the office was the pharmacy. I needed to pick up some small items for the trip and that ended up costing me nearly an arm and a leg. I can’t get over just how expensive some of my day to day ‘necessity’ type items are. After that it was off to the nail salon. No woman in their right mind would go to the beach/pool without nicely manicured toes and nails. I have to say this was the best thing for me to do. I sat there and got pampered and I can’t tell you how relaxing it was after the hectic week that I had had thus far. I opted for a rather neutral color for my toes so that it would go with everything I was thinking of packing. As for my manicure, I thought about doing something fun and exciting, but alas, the conservative side in me came out and I opted for the gel french manicure (you can’t go wrong with this classy look).
After all that running around my stomach was telling me, “Amanda, feed me … NOW!” So, in my reply I took it for some sushi dinner. Miso soup, salad and some spicy tuna rolls! Talk about yum yum in my tum tum. Now that my stomach was satisfied I could once again act and think like a normal human being. So off to the next task, packing.
Packing is something of an art form in itself. To manage to get everything one needs for 7 days in a medium (well let’s be real, large) suitcase. The worst part about being a woman and having 7 different dresses to wear out at night, are the shoes that coordinate with these dresses, not to mention flip flops for the pool, gym shoes to work out in, and well more heels. I have to say I managed to pack pretty darn well. Shoes on the bottom, clothes neatly folded on the top and I was good to go. I do know that I over packed, but I’d rather have too much than too little!
Only a few more hours to go (all of which will I hope be filled with sleep) and Los Cabos here I come!
