That trip happens this Saturday.<BR/><BR/>jackie: you are so right. Bastards, all of them! I did take my own food on the plane. I was amazed at how many people passed up the $7 box of crackers and reached into their carry on for their own meal!<BR/><BR/>kw: no fears. I will be loaded down with snack goodies when I get onto the return flight! <BR/><BR/>julie: it's comments like yours that keep me going! I just filled up the tank last night (i waited for the warning light to come on.) It took $40 to fill at $3.57 a gallon. I am keeping track of the mileage and will mention it later.Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-55712764893934025252008-08-20T10:22:00.000-05:002008-08-20T10:22:00.000-05:00That's the car my husband and I are going to buy I...That's the car my husband and I are going to buy I think. I heard the gas mileage is not "too bad" for a big car like that. I really like it for the space, we need a lot as we always have trouble fitting what we buy inside our small Toyota Tercel! Also, very useful once we'll have a kid. I'd really appreciate if you can say a few comments about the gas mileage after your trip!<BR/><BR/>I also want to thank you for the nice stories you share on this blog and on Explore Mexico with Me. Even after my trip to Isla Mujeres in June, I keep reading you and even added your blogs to my Google Reader. Enjoy your trip to the US!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-72535459899304286732008-08-20T06:50:00.000-05:002008-08-20T06:50:00.000-05:00So far so good.. no big problems at the airport an...So far so good.. no big problems at the airport and you didn't sit on the floor crying :) I miss reading your blog daily, but hey .. you are on vacation. Buy lots of 3 Musketeer's for the trip home. Enjoy and take lots of pictures.

Imagine being deprived of your favorite candy bar because some greedy bastard corporate concession/news stand at the airport knows there are enough silly people that will pay their asking price. Why do they charge that much? Because they can.<BR/>Looking forward to more reports.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-9393223956388212462008-08-19T18:03:00.000-05:002008-08-19T18:03:00.000-05:00I am so glad you are back.

I will be one of thousands, can't miss me!<BR/><BR/>brenda: i am having a great time, thank you very much! I'll be doing a post with my NOB observations later.<BR/><BR/>steve: I couldn't have asked for a better travel day! And I have heard that Machinery Hill no longer exists. Replaced by Riding Lawn Mower Hill!<BR/><BR/>Sandye: it just freaks me out when people say they need or miss their "wayne fix". And yet it is nice to hear. A bit scary though because it makes me feel all responsible and like an adult. Hate feeling like an adult!<BR/><BR/>trixie: now you know what you can bring me next time! Honestly, even if that thing had been 6 feet long and came in a gold wrapper, I was not about to pay $4.40 for it!Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-51249145760565127092008-08-19T15:09:00.000-05:002008-08-19T15:09:00.000-05:00We share a favorite candy bar!!
