I get to go on vacation!
My sister's oldest son is a Marine, stationed in North Carolina. She had been wishing she could go visit him this summer but did not think she would be able to afford it. However, she just received a large sum of money from Child Support. One of her sons is now living with his father, who typically works little if at all and does not pay his child support. He owes her more than $50,000 right now. However, apparently he decided to file his income taxes last year. He usually does not bother to file. Of course, he usually has no income. But we figure someone must have told him he would qualify for a tax credit since he now has custody of his son. So he filed, but because he is behind in his child support payments, he didn't get the money. My sister did.
So she is going to use it to visit her other son in North Carolina and invited me to go with her. She will pay for pretty much everything. I am excited! Now I am trying to figure out how to pack enough food to make sure I have good stuff to eat for a week.

I have to check and see if there will be a fridge in the hotel room. It's a hotel on base which is very reasonably priced. But if not, I may just get a small cooler and ice and keep stuff in there. Probably all I'll need to buy is some yogurt and maybe some cheese. I figured I'd take some soy milk and nuts and protein bars, but I can buy those here and pack them to take with me. I just don't wanna end up eating a ton of carbs while I'm there.

It's always really easy for me to overdo the carbs on a road trip. When you stop somewhere for gas or visit the hotel vending machine, most of what you see is carbs. I wouldn't even be that worried about going off my plan for a few days, but I don't want to deal with the low blood sugar that follows a carb fest for me these days.
