OC Bound

As the days of summer start to wind down, we wonder where in the world the time went. Although, Amira and I have had such a fun-filled summer with so many wonderful events and memories all we can say is, "alhamdullilah".

To finish off the summer of 2007 Mindy, Vicky and I are heading to the OC (Orange County, California) this weekend. We are so excited about our trip we can hardly stand it. Our plans are to do anything, everything or nothing depending on how we feel.

One of Mindy’s desires is to lounge poolside at our hotel and snap her fingers for the Cabana boy to bring her refreshments. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the wonderful life of being a leisurely princess, don’t you think? I say, "snap away girlfriend"!

One of Vicky’s desires is to stalk Clay from the MTV reality TV show Newport Harbor. She thinks he’s so adorably cute. Although Ms. Vicky celebrated her birthday in April and is clearly not in the same age bracket as Clay, she still feels justified in her stalking of him because he’s considered of legal age (18). I say, "you go girl"!

Me? I desire to have a massage. All three of us actually thought the massage would be good, so we are scheduled for Sunday late afternoon for a spa treatment. I can already feel my muscles relaxing at the thought. =)

We also agree we’d like to take a boat ride on the ocean and since we will be staying in the Newport Beach area there will be plenty of boat excursions to choose from. So hopefully we’ll have time to maybe squeeze it in on Sunday before the spa treatment. ;-)

We have also been invited by a friend of mine to attend the annual Arab American Festival in Garden Grove, California, which I’ve always wanted to attend, so was delighted when I learned it was taking place while we were there. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, what more could anyone want but great Arabic food, music, entertainment and shisha?

As long as we each return feeling relaxed, refreshed, possibly exhausted as well as filled with laughter and great memories, then we can consider this a successful venture, inshallah.

I know the three of us will be a breath of fresh air to the OC community because we are the real deal---100% authentic. There is nothing plastic, fake, or superficial about us, so know we will definitely stick out amongst the land of plastic. Hopefully our good nature and our authenticity will rub off and start a trend. LOL

Look out OC, here we come!
