I'm leaving to the Bahamas today and I've been anxious for this trip all week. Partly because this location isn't even on my top 10 list of places I want to visit in my lifetime so I really am going in with no agenda and no expectations which might be a pretty cool experience. This is also the first time I'm going somewhere brand new- overseas, so packing was a tad tricky since I have no idea what it's like and I don't remember the last time I've been away from home for seven days straight. I wanted to make sure I was prepared for all occasions so I had to get organized since I like to travel as light as possible but that was a bit of challenge so this is what I decided to bring just in case..
My girlfriends chose this destination and rave about the
Atlantis. I've watched an episode of this resort on the Travel Channel in Dubai and it seemed sweet so with 7 girls it could be a ton of fun. I can't figure out what's making me so uneasy though since this actually should feel natural since I've got the airport routine down to a T.. but maybe the thought of being on a plane again haunts me since last week there was so much turbulence I felt like I was going to die-- and that was a much shorter flight!

Anyway, I went shopping downtown the other day for things on my trip but I came out with 2 fur coats, a watch I already owned but lost, these shoes above that were on sale and some toiletries. Most are irrelevant to use in the Bahamas but I guess I'll just re wear stuff I have in my closet. I don't know where I even got the idea of not wanting to wear the same thing twice once it's been photographed? Oh well, ta-ta!

Last year, I discovered one of my favorite day time events in LA-
The Do Over! I've been wanting to hit this party up all summer but I saved the best for last and flew out just to come out to it's last Sunday of the season. The
line was unbelievably long, being the fact that it was also Labor Day weekend. Thankfully my homegirl Karen was able to get us in with a breeze so we didn't have to deal with all the hassle. It was beyond capacity and they weren't letting people in for awhile. Towards the evening, it was
packed and they really went out with a bang- delivering an amazing vibe-- all love-- and everything I remembered before. Though I really liked it's old venue at
Cranes Hollywood Tavern but there really is no parallel to a backyard house party feel with music that just takes you back to every song you could possibly love that mixes into another tune to get you hyped. Plus,
Mayer Hawthorne was there and I got to meet the famous
Reggae Pops so I had a fun experience once again. Oh but I did forget that memo I told myself last year to avoid wearing white but nevertheless, I managed to stay sangria stain free. The Do Over will be coming to
SF on September 18. I won't be in town but if you are, you should check it out- you'll be in for a treat. :)
I'm amazed of the amount of messages I got immediately after asking the name of the song in my previous post. Thank you to all for answering that, it's been in my head forever. I enjoy posting songs I listen to on my
Twitter, which reminds me I've been idle and need to change that asap. Opened a can of worms today checking a Facebook I normally prefer unused- partly because of my frustration maneuvering through it, making me feel jurassic as an end result. I guess I keep it only to stay in touch with old friends so please don't be offended if I haven't accepted your friend request. There's nothing exciting on it that you can't find here :) Anyway, I'll end on that note.. it's bed time for me! Night!
