I think it would be faster to make the a jet get away trip than a road trip after the last fiasco besides how would we drive to Hawaii?

Easy. Drive to the Port of Oakland and find the Matson car transportation terminal. Pay $950 and get in line. Wait a week and drive on to a RORO. Five days later you're here.

Does that INCLUDE a cabin, or do you need to get some chips and beer?

Meals Rejected by Ethiopians?

MREs were after my time. For a while we got Korean War era C rats. The packs of three cigarettes were great trading material. I lived on fruit cocktail.

I remember the first time I had the old "c" rats. You are right, they were from the korean war!! And I tried to keep the little cigarette package, but ended up smoking them when we ran out of cigarettes (I smoked back then)

Years later while working as a civilian, they military provided them to us, and I was amazed at how much they had improved!!! I understand now, they actually have a "combat" version that includes extra carb/protean packets for eating on the go.

The worst I ever saw was Ham And Eggs Chopped. There was about a half inch of grease in the top of the can. The ants ate well that day.

As far as wine goes, I can take you north to the Portland area for that as well. The nonboozers should enjoy the limo ride and the wine country itself.

Mr. Syndrome can take us all out to Plant City to the Keel & Curley Winery (I think that's the name), where they make blueberry wines, among others. GOOD stuff.

Congrats on the new job, Syndrome!

So... how many DCL trips will you be able to put on your expense account before the paper wises up??? :D:

After Hurricane Ivan they handed out MREs and bottled water and we still have a whole box of MREs piled up behind the dining room table. We did sample a few of them and they were pretty durn tasty!

Wallaby - if you're driving that limo from Orlando to Portland, bring Shorty along and stop and pick me up on the way west. I'd love a limo tour of my old home town with an entertaining guide and my own personal doorman to hold doors open for me. :D:
