Unfortunately, I will likely be traveling solo on this trip. :p

That's what a European-carry-all full of drink chits are for. :o

Then he must pay double drinks

Was this agreement in negotiations or even in any form of enforcement at the time that belynch started using "proverbial droppings"? ;)

The joke sharing agreement was put in place after i used his "Avis First Whatever that Is ™ "

A most excellent reason to create a backup honeymoon plan involving a 764ER/772.

I actually prefer the taste of cane sugar Coca Cola. It's readily available in Houston in the Mexican food aisle of most grocery stores.

And the original cane sugar version of Dr. Pepper is so good and addictive that it's like cocaine. It used to be very hard to find, but the last couple of years it's been available in six packs of 6 oz. glass bottles at many upscale grocers in major Texas cities.

The 762 also has that huge lav in the middle of the plane over the wings, right behind the Y mini-cabin. It's larger than the big lav on the 777. You could have a real party in that place if you wanted to.

I've been trying to hold off on buying a new phone for a few more months until T-Mobile can give me a full discount on an upgrade, and they've released some new BlackBerry models. But more poor BlackBerry 8100 Pearl that's had a lot of use and abuse had other plans. The keys have been sticking, the trackball doesn't work so well anymore, the screen is scratched, and the battery door is held on with a piece of Scotch tape. Finally, the plastic silver ring that holds the trackball on the phone partially broke, and the trackball came off. So I gave up on waiting for the latest and greatest new device and went to the Baton Rouge T-Mobile store at lunch and walked out with a new 8320 Curve handset, which I had to pay extra for because I'm not quite due for a full upgrade discount yet. It's a better device than what I had, but still not one of the really cool new ones that's due out in the next few months. But at least I'll have a fully functional BlackBerry again. And the excitement of having a new electronic toy kind of makes up for the pain and frustration of working here this week.

Ahhh, yes, Coke for Pesach (in English - Passover). Making Coke with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup (among other changes). I'm sure there's more to it then that, but to me, Coke tastes better in Europe than it does here. I believe Coke is made over there w/ sugar all year round.

Care to name some of these stores? I will gladly get away from corn syrup to discover sugar again. :D

I think I prefer the corn syrup one

It's called Dublin Dr. Pepper and you can buy it online: http://www.olddocs.com/product.aspx?...epper&subcat2=

I've seen it at Central Market but that was a while back. I think you can get it in Wal-Mart (plastic bottles), and even Randalls.

I'm waiting to see if T-Mobile's G1 is worth it. I want an Iphone, but will not go to AT&T. If this phone comes close, I may upgrade.

Also, FWIW, all the gas stations near Fredricksburg, TX seem to carry it.
