DH and I went to the store last night and restocked the Capt Morgan's since I had to finish off because of the horrible week...NOW we are ready for the weekend!!!! Whohoo!

The only possibility that I have for a trip overseas is to the old Clark AFB in the Phillipines where we are starting up a new facility. It is closer to Tokyo. Hmmmm. I wonder if the flight would go through Tokyo. "But I missed the connecting flight and couldn't get on another one for 2 days...." Gotta figure out how to expense the Tokyo Disneyland tickets.

I'm half Italian and half Irish(born in Brooklyn also.. although I've lived on Long Island almost my entire life)

What about bagels..do you miss bagels..or is that a Long Island thing?....I know whenever we go away, I can't get a bagel or pizza that is as good as NY. They say it's the water (ha!...that really makes your wonder!).

That's wonderful that you're in Tampa..how long have you been there? I don't think I'd miss NY either. (except for the food..and I figure I have relatives that will ship it to me!) We are in Nassau County and it's getting so crowded, the roads and the traffic..we'd love to be able to move south.

Good Bagels are hard to find also. I actually just learned how to make my own like they do NY; they boil them first then bake them. They came out pretty good. We can't get anything crispy because of the humidity.

We've been down here almost 5 years. Yes...we really do miss the food!! You can't beat the winters down here though.

Oh, and we really miss have a "Diner"!!!!! There aren't any down here at all!!!!

What about bagels......

Ive never had a real New York bagel...I like Pepridge Farms' Everything Bagels with a ton of cream cheese....are NY bagels really THAT different?

"Well, there wasn't a flight out...I had to do something with my time!"

The reason we're going is because DH has a business trip to Germany. DD11 and I have a couple days at DL before we meet him in Paris.

I'm not sure I have either. I had a bagel in the NYC Marriott Marquis last May, but I think it was a Thomas'. I really like Panera. Is it anything close?

Ooh. Ooh. I did find flights that have connections in Tokyo or Hong Kong. Ooh. Ooh. But unfortunately, they are pricier than the ones that connect in Vegas or Frisco .

OH MY GOD! YES! a "real" bagel isn't like a Perperidge Farm bagel....those are "fake" bagels.....

Put a little spin on it! You need to stop in Tokyo. You have a leg condition...yeah. You have to walk on actual land for approximately 2 days before getting to the Phillipines, because of potential blood clots and the flight time between Vegas and Philiipines is just too long. Yep. That's right. Walking around a place like DL would be down right theraputic. Yes sirie.

I'm not sure...never had a bagel in Panera...although I do like their soups and breads.

I've got to figure out a way to send you poor bagel deprived people REAL BAGELS!......
