Mexican, Peruvian, whatever. I eat just about anything.

Here's the URL for the Greek Place I mentioned.

^ Sounds good, let us setup a time when we can all meet when you get things finalized.

Good food with Bakalava for dessert, not much better!

You know better than that. South Florida is all ocean fish.

I like Peruvian food but the only problem with Miami is that it is quite a long drive for us. FLL is right in the middle so that nobody needs to take that long a drive and there are a number of quite good places there.

Anyone notice that CO has started codesharing on NH flights (and vice-versa)? ;)

Beef Jerky is loaded with Vitamin D and lots of yummy goodness.

Ran this through Teh Googler, as I was in need of a Word of the Day. Corn growth fungus? Ay caramba. :eek:

I was surprised to see a CO code listed on VS020 SFO - LHR. I mean, I knew CO had the codeshare, but they had it on the board at the gate, advertising it. Flying into SFO was fun with all the big birds around the international terminal. And the KLM MD-11 was being piloted by a pilot who was retiring, so they gave him the water cannon salute.

It seems that all the doctors say the same thing about "vitamin D deficiency."

I was actually joking regarding the Vitamin D deficiency. I was simply referring to the fact that I'm pale as a ghost.

does anyone have a link to seth's travel tools?

Obviously the grilled fish are the main selection favorites but I am impressed with the menu of Meze. We can sit and eat that stuff all evening with a couple of bottles of good Greek wine (of which I know nothing but have always been satisfied trusting the recommendations from the staff).

And actually fantastic. Compare the taste to, say, truffles.

He has a sense of humor you will thoroughly enjoy!

Spent part of afternoon cleaning up the office - time to go home.

You certainly have the right attitude!! So is anything salvagable?

Some stuff that was in plastic crates will be OK. Other stuff in cardboard boxes will probably not be salvageable.

Plus 1. I really don't like the pretzels in teh packets. :td:

I know. :) But you're right. If you look at the daily fluctuations of any given security constantly and you're not day-trading it to make quick gains, you're doing nothing but asking for early ulcers.

Agree! It can drive you insane if you're not careful!

I'm not a fan of the pretzels either. I love good pretzels — the big kind, fresh out of the oven, but the little mini pretzels and mini pretzel sticks CO has been serving lately don't cut it. I especially hate it when that's all CO can offer in domestic F. CO's domestic F meals are still, IMO, the best overall in the US, and they have one of the most generous meal-time policies on serving them. However, if you don't get the meal, they offer the same thing as in Y, just with free booze and it comes in a real glass. The snack baskets on other airlines at least offer some variety, including whole fruit if you want something a little healthier to munch on.

I rarely eat CO's pretzels. Every once in a while I will, but 95% of the time, I just decline them from the FA.

Agree.
