Hmmm. their website doesn't show any widths on the women's shoes that I can tell....and, as nice as those would be for hanging at home, they really wouldn't do for work....I need to dress casual/professional at the least. Jeans only on Fridays etc.

10+ hour car trip on Sunday
Here's my checklist. Let me know if I missed anything:

- removed DVD player to reduce brain atrophy
- installed permanent chess set to reverse brain atrophy
- drew up Latin flash cards to stimulate genius
- made CD for family sing-a-long called "The Kumbaya Experience"
- made list of licence plate games
- took Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas off kids iPods, replaced them with family friendly hits from Thomas sing-along
- cut grapes into 1/8ths to prevent choking
- made nut-free, sugar-free peanut butter sandwiches on vegan, organic wholewheat bread with crusts removed to prevent choking
- DH and I spent last night predigesting jerky so it's easier for our precious munchkins to eat
- placed window darkeners on car so pedophiles can't see "targets" sitting in the car
- purchased small adult diapers for the kids so they don't have to use rest stops, cause as we all know pedophiles are waiting there to steal our children

Any other tips to have a "fun" trip?

Zimbo - LOL! Too funny - I really needed that.

All I can add is to be sure to pack your Retinol and other anti aging paraphernalia...to reduce the impact on your face of any stress, dry weather or sun that this trip may cause you.

Have fun!

"Imagine" - Anti religion
"100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" - Encourages underage drinking
"I've Been Workin on the Railroad" - Promotes unionism
"She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain" - Feminist anthem and encourages children to play with guns
"Mary Had a Little Lamb" - PITA problems
"A Spoon Full of Sugar" - Glorifies drugs and promotes unhealthy eating habits
"Climb Every Mountain" - Not accessible to the handicapped
Michael Row the Boat Ashore" - Promotes religion
"If I Had a Hammer" - Promotes violence

Oh actually we are not planning on going in the sun, or the water. Way too many dangers. The water may have traces of oil, despite being thousands of miles from the spill. Also microorganisms. Do you know what the little fishies do in the ocean? The precious ones may get sunburned because we cannot use sunscreen, too any carcinogens. The pool at the hotel only has one lifeguard, and is full of bacteria. So we'll just sit in the hotel room.

I hope you are bringing your own sheets and disinfectants.

Remember to pack that little backpack thingy so the kids don't have to actually walk anywhere....should you happen to venture out of the hotel room and risk your lives "out there"...Oh...and speaking of hotel rooms, don't sit on the bedspreads....
