Mmm, pampering! Sounds like fun! Yeah, I really want to go to victoria soon. I havent thought about going over there as I am constantly broke. But maybe there should be a "special occasion" for me to have to come over. Maybe you can make something up? Then I will be able to tell Joel that I HAVE to go. :D Otherwise maybe we can do this sometime around your birthday?
