I certainly considered that and then thought most people don't use up their entire allowable luggage limit. Like my mom and dad will probably share a suitcase so that leaves one whole suitcase for towels. I certainly hope that people will have room to take them back home - I would not like to see them left behind!

FOR STRAW BEACH MATS:

Also try Wholesale Products and Wholesale Merchandise - DollarDays and the dollar tree will have them in about a month or so.

I orginally wanted to do towels, but I am way over budget, so I willgive these to the guys and the ladies will get the straw bag with the goodies.

Ann, you're so practical, I didn't even think about the problem of how to get things like this there...

Hmm, I will have to plan carefully for packing....

another thing about the towels, I was thinking that when I go to hotels or resorts they always have the towels there for you to use. So then I began to think that most people won't want to keep using the same towel everyday plus, bring it home in there suitcase with sand, sweat, or sun tan lotion on it. So that pretty much helped me decide not to get them! It was an expense that I could use else where. Well I guess they wouldn't have to use it either and save it for when they get home?? Oh well!

That was my exact thought process too! I thought about getting them for a long time - then realized that I've never brought my own towel to a resort.

The resorts do provide towels but you would not have a towel if you went on a snorkeling trip off the resort.

I plan to buy really large bath towels in pink for the girls and navy for the guys and get them embroidered with something in the corner. I am also going to ship them to the resort because Aaron gets a pretty good rate through his work on Fed Ex and other shipping companies.
