Ok so insha Allah we're goin to Makkah and Jeddah for a few days.
Here's a "before" outline of the trip. It's bascially how I plan the trip to be and Allah is the best of Planners. It'll be interesting cuz I am SURE things will be totally different once we set out on the road. Allah make it easy!

Trip Plans, Insha Allah (If Allah wills):

Thursday (Afternoon):

Have some Lunch.
Leave for Makkah from Madinah at some time before `Asr Salah (prayer).
Reach Makkah four hours later (depending on stops and `Asr Salah (prayer).

Thursday (Evening):

Stop by Shaikh Rabee's house, visit with family, chill with the Shaikh until `Ishaa' Salah (prayer).
After praying `Ishaa', head on over to Shaikh Muhammad al-Bannaa's Makkah house.
Have dinner with the Shaikh, allow family to visit with his family.
Head out to Jeddah after dinner.

Friday (Morning):

Head out to the Corniche to go snorkeling.
Come back from snorkeling and have some breakfast. (hopefully at the American Corner: AWESOME Steak and Eggs)
Get ready for Jumu`ah (Friday Sermon and Prayer)

Friday (Afternoon):

Pray Jumu`ah (prayer).
Have lunch, possibly in Jeddah, or maybe in Makkah depending on my host's plans.
Head to Shaikh Rabee's house for his Friday `Aqeedah (Muslim Creed) Dars (lesson).

Friday (Evening):

Chill with Shaikh Rabee' until Maghrib (possibly)
Visit Abul-Abbas and get advice on a range of topics as well as share some ideas about Religious and Web Stuff.
Decide whether to stay in Makkah (hotel) or in Jeddah (hotel) so as not to burden our host.

Saturday (Morning):

Have breakfast.
Go run some errands for family.
Possibly head to Makkah if conditions facilitate.

Saturday (Afternoon):

Have Lunch.
Head out for Madinah (can't handle staying away from Madinah for too long).
Reach Madinah safely insha Allah after four hours.

Stay tuned for pics and an "after" post about how things really went...
