  Davina,

  Yes Davina, they are vastly different in the USA. That is because here the word has nothing to do with food, rather it is a derogatory term used for people like us in general it refers to males that do not beet the cis-world's definition of the sexual norm.  I think I much prefer the UK version as I do like liver. Sadly I didn't get a chance to try them the two times I was in England. I did have plenty of time to sample the warn beer in quite some detail.

It hasn't happened yet...

As for the clothes it will be both. I believe I will have separate bags. One for each mode (if I can fit all the female paraphernalia into one. I mean sheeesh!! clothes, makeup, shoes, purse, bling  what a pain just to figure out what to take and what to leave home.  I ask you is this normal?

You should see the gigantic suitcases my sister in law travels with. I hurt my back with them, so I learned to make myself scarce when she was loading up.

On the other hand, my wife and daughter travel very light.

Hope you don't have a giant bag when you arrive here. I might be "indisposed" lol.

We'll discuss the makeover when you get here. Being a weekend I couldn't make any large formal appointments. This way I can maneuver it back to being your fault if we don't go through with it [emoji1] [emoji12]

  Packing? I knew there was something I probably should be doing...  Instead of doing suck mundane things I was out at a few stores trying to find a couple things. I went to the Burlington coat store figuring to buy a light woman's coat or jacket.... they must have gotten out of that line of business. It looked like they were now competing with Goodwill by the rows and rows and rows of clothes. It even appeared as it they were pre-owned clothes  the haphazard way there were displayed and bad signage. Oh yeah I saw about 6 jackets on a clearance.
  So I went across the freeway to the mall... slim pickings at sears, Macy's, Dave's sporting goods, and J C Penny's. I guess  the beginning of summer isn't a good time for coat shopping. *sigh* So not coat or jacket for the trip.

   Oh btw Randy... While in J C Penny's I went into the Sephora section and was greeted by the girl behind the counter. I decided to have a chat with her and walked up to the counter. I inquired about the 2 makeovers the do and the short one is pretty much help with a specific area or makeup type of your choice. The long one covers more of a full face makeover for a look of your choice. night out, day time, glamour etc, that they will do for you like for a prom or wedding etc. She suggested scheduling before going and give a bit of information of what you want so they can get some products ready before hand. We were discussing it as if it was for me and she also suggested making it know before hand that it would be "for a gentleman" as some techs may not be comfortable with doing it for a male. I imagine the same consideration should be given for us. If you want it to be a learning experience you should also tell the tech so explanations can be given as the work is performed. 
   There ya go Randy... I did the footwork, ball is back in your court.

  Tomorrow I should go fill up the truck and go to one more store. Then I suppose I should start packing.
    *Oh bother*

Mix and Match as much as you can...when I went to Queensland I took 3 complete outfits right down to the shoes and from these 3 you could make 5 or 6 different combinations...I found myself in jeans and tops because the weather was crappy...then of course there is the make up, shoes, hair accessories jewellery, and I managed to keep it all to just under 50 pounds for being away 2 nights and 3 days...you are going to need a road-train https://www.siku.de/en/sortiment/road-train.html if you are taking both :D

  Hi Liz,

  Lets see;
  50 lbs is to 3 days as  X lbs is to 35 days.  X = 583.3 lbs

I might need more bags.
