Good idea Danny. I'd layer them, though, 'cause the amount of produce I pack in there, the seem might not hold. :)
Are you crazy women? I love animals. I had frogs,fish,birds,cats, all at one time. My apartment was a zoo at one point. My cat at that time got hold of some of my love birds. Wasn't a pretty site.
Wow, 6 weeks is INTENSE. Very cool.
That's 42 days. Well if Moses and Jesus can do it, then why not the rest of us?
Philips event is sold out but it sounds like you can still show up, order off the menu and dance if you don't have a ticket.

Brief aspects of Vitality Consultant, Kyle Vialli's pioneering nutritional synthesis entitled The Truth About Nutrition. If you are confused about diet, food...
Cool sounds like a great vacay. Have fun!
Putting it in aluminum causes it to oxidize quicker
Yeah that was my first reaction too...seems like I could have made one myself, but oh well, does a great job though
I am getting ready to buy powdered stevia in bulk, and I don't know which is better--green or white.

take care

I don't go to Juliano's ever because their food is very unbalanced, not researched, yes it is pretty might "taste" good but is very bad for you all high mycotoxin foods, I don't say anything because that is what they are into I am not. I don't do nama soyu, cashews, or improper food combining, they also charge too much and small tiny portions all bad things to avoid in my book! Cru is great love it but I am never near that area and prices are $17 and above too high for me.
I like RAWvolution.com I am doing an event there this Thursday August 20th 6pm-8pm is free and free Pad Thai, Chocolate Covered Strawberries and book signing afterwards all free and fun you can meet me there or better yet at this Hollywood Mansion Party RAW POTLUCK I am doing this Friday August 21:

Or I can meet you in Beverly Hills I like the M Cafe I think it is on Brighton? Well they have some raw organic offerings there too. But please e-mail me at rawbryan@hotmail.com it is better and more private.
Also I have way more tips and advice for your RV Trip besides NEW tires, checking oil EVERY STOP this is very important too, RVs burn up oil fast! Like AAA will actuall MAP OUT YOUR ENTIRE TRIP and have info on gas, mileage, tourist attractions/national parks/Hot springs/spas they will do this for you for FREE and PRINT IT OUT IF YOU HAVE AAA and to go their office I highly recommend this so you won't get lost and if you have GPS get it but don't depend on GPS bring maps and from AAA they will give you FREE MAPS TOO, GPS is not reliable people still get lost and stuck.
YOU HAVE TO GO TO THESE spas, national monuments, hot springs, they will rejuvenate you during your trip is necessary! This is what made my TRIP WORTHWHILE it would have been terrible if we didn't stop at all of those! Also DRIVING is very unbalancing in Ayurvedic Medicine it is said to bring out your Dasa or Dosha or something, which means all of your unbalancing health problems will come out on long road trips! You get dizzy, sick, stomach and digestion problems, dehydration, sleepy be careful NOT TO SLEEP on the road or while driving it is very easy to do this and not know it! So make sure to do a LOT OF YOGA a lot of REST STOPS, don't drive tired it can be very dangerous RV you can easily swerve into another lane without knowing it! Again very important to check tires and oil EVERY STOP and STOP OFTEN to stretch, nap, rest.
And eat often too.
You should really go with an EXPERIENCED RV PERSON there is so much that comes up that you never expect or know...it is a lot of fun adventure of a lifetime but PLAN EVERYTHING OUT FIRST and also renew your AAA it can save your life and trip! Do all the planning and research before hand, also some roads, streets, are too low for RVs or not wide enough be aware of that too BEFOREHAND.
Bring tools, extra water for RV and for you, extra food, blankets, music, towels. First Aid Kit.
I hope you are going with someone that is experienced with RVs I would not recommend just WINGING IT and going for it for 1st Time we did this 8 Yoga Practioners and we learned along the way NOT A GOOD IDEA we were VERY LUCKY because there were many times we could have ate it or got into a lot of trouble, but we somehow managed and learned a lot, definitely do not recommend just "Going for it" and learning on the road that is not a good idea....if you have at least 1 expereinced RV driver/traveler it makes it fun, easy, safe...you also have to discharge waste/poop/pee/water at stops at RV places it can be messy and gross but someone has to do it! Also if you have a stove make sure it is turned off and the gas too it can leak or blow up, so check that often you never know who might change the settings! There is a lot to learn and info more than that but yeah meet up with me lets talk and work together connect etc. it will be fun and e-mail me!:o)
I think it is RAWmazing what you are doing, I just want to make sure you know what you are getting into, also make sure you have NEW BRAKES going down big hills will happen or sudden stops in traffic are necessary you want good brakes and you want to avoid fixes on the road as much as necessary it will cost a lot in time and money they charge you a lot those mechanics and you have to stay in a hotel room while they are fixing the RV it can takes days or 1 week or more depending on what needs fixing!
Get a new tune up, new spark plugs, spark plug wires, new oil, new oil filter, check all fuel filters, etc...
Will talk when we meet!

I also have a lot of questions and more info for you as well as advice as I did a NATIONAL YOGA PEACE TOUR in a 30 foot RV in 1997 we drove from San Francisco to New York and to Canada and back again, some VERY IMPORTANT THINGS is get BRAND NEW TIRES right before your trip, tires wear out fast and they go flat or burst quickly so if you don't buy new tires you might get stuck or stranded and will have to buy new ones fast, we wish we bought new ones before we left we had to buy new ones anyway when we got a worn out tire, a burst tire, and a flat tire, so we had to buy NEW ONES ANYWAY why not before the trip and not have these "problems" also you have to check your oil every stop, fluids, etc. etc. I have more advice and which RV Stops to go to and etc...
