Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. I've been watching this flight since last Saturday and it has gone out with at least one empty F seat every day except Monday (which I figured) and last night. We'll see what happens in a few hours when OLCI opens up.

If for some reason you can't snag it the row 14 is wide open as well.

Stop thinking like that... someone might get an idea and run with it!

It has already cross the minds of Larry and Jeff. The economics with fuel prices did not work out then, and even now a little iffy.

They considered also trying to get 4 BF Lite seats in and making it 42 seats. :D All this to meet their commitment to not send any plane to Europe that wasn't BF equipped.

Of course this is all made up, with exception of the first sentence.

Only somewhat topical, but Toy Story 3 is no longer a December 2009 release, its a summer 2010 release.

Those are Princess Cruises brochures. She already has a :rolleyes:load of them in the office, so sure, why not? In the trunk, first place I would have thought of too.

funny routine, I can't say I got sick after mine.....but it was CO like, wonder when they will start to serve it, it has the prerequisites covered, broccoli and cheese, it could be called: Vegetable Medley Stuffed Pastry.

The one I had coming home from the Do tasted more like raw starch than anything. They claim it had pepperoni and cheese. I tasted the expansion of fat cells and not much more.

Get the onion rye bread. I'm bringing home at least one loaf when I go down in two weeks.

Ding ding, we have a winner. It's not so much toxic like over in UA or US here, but it's just been getting progressively goofier.

I ran afoul of the management over in Travel Safety/Security and got free hot sauce out of the deal.

Peter Greenberg did a decent job with that. I'm used to him being a hack. He is virulently anti-travel agent, so I felt a little dirty just spending time to watch him.

Good afternoon, good evening, greetings and salutations Box.

Agreed about the onion rye. The Publix bakeries are pretty good except they do not do any crusty Italian or French stuff. A new French bakery opened on the corner of Federal and Spanish River and their baguettes are inconsistent. The first lot that I got were great and I was congratulating myself on finally having a good baguette down there. The next lot that I got was of industrial quality and even tho the guy running the place swore that it was the same, he knew that I knew he had run out and called some factory for a refill that day.

I agree fully SoFla is severly lacking on the good crusty Italian and French styles. They only make the cuban/jewish/latino styles well.

I had one good french bread in 5 years and I can't remember from where I bought it now, it was a small bakery that allowed tasting before purchase, but can't even remember if it was gables, kendall or aventura now, and there is a small chance it was in north miami beach/sunny isles. :rolleyes:

Publix is good pretty much across the board. I even like their sushi.

I only like it fresh, from 10-6 they have a dedicated sushi chef at most of the stores now and will make it how you want it on the spot.

Too far south for me. I'm a Deerfield, Boca, Delray type person. The last time I set foot in Dade County aside from last December when we brunched at the Biltmore was probably 1997 or so.

I did not know this. Excellent. My father is driving down from his town-not-on-the-map-and-he-is-perversely-proud-of-that-fact retirement home northwest of MCO for one of the days that I'm in Deerfield. I'll tell him that I like Publix Deli (no lie there) and freak him out by ordering a boatload of sushi.

ConciergeMike Jun 4, 2009 10:49 pm

Night, Box. Time to read myself to sleep.

Go to the seafood counter, and about 90% of the time you will see a sushi table, if the chef(in all cases for me, has actually been japanese!) is not there the deli or seafood staff can 'ring' him and he'll come out and help you with your order and prepare it while you shop. If you want anything special from the store in it(I saw someone brought pickles one time, yes cucumber kind?!) some of them will even do that.
