(may be that my swiss governement will now confiscate my passport) ).

What do we have here? This cannot be the "real" Rudi making this post. A Swiss promoting Belgian chocolates? This is totally unheard of. We may have to confiscate his TEXAS passport, also.

kind of omni, but I was intrigued last week to see at Costco warehouse (a new store in Chicago, like Sam's Warehouse but much much better) genuine Belgian Godiva chocolates--about $19 for what I judged to be 450 grams, stored refrigerated.

I guess you'll ahve to book early for this
Chocolaholics special. It sounds very delicious.

OMNI COMMENTARY>>> I think Rudi was just giving a travel fact, not switching his alligance to Belgian from Swiss Chocolates (which to me are the best in teh world. Godiva's very good. Hershey's Kit Kat the best of the commercial mass produced
brands.) CATMAN

Book Early, Book Often. Just like voting. And I think Rudi has switched, which means he is in deep trouble with his gobernment.

Oh my...
Okay, how do I quickly switch my fc award flight going to Tokyo/Hong Kong to Brussels? Chocoholic fantasy vs cousin's wedding...decisions, decisions...
