Leaving On A Jet Plane

I'm about 13 hours from getting on a plane to come back to the US of A!!! This calls for a special celebration.... Ozzy? Can you help me out??



So by the time you put the dishes away for dinner on Friday night, I should be safe and sound to Florida with my one-and-only Sarah for the week. I'll be checking out Tokyo and Atlanta as temporary stops in my journey. And yes, I'm flying on Northworst Airlines in Coach.... this will NOT be fun. Maybe I can tell them I'm off to see my woman and they'll upgrade me feeling sorry for me.

Our plans for those 8 days together?? Enjoy each other's company and the sunny weather while playing in the Gulf of Mexico. Hopefully see some more dolphins like last time.... eat some good food while we're there. I already checked and there is unfortunately no Jimmy Johns nor is there a Chipotle where we'll be.

I can watch American Idol on a REAL TV, and of course witness some Red Wings domination in the first round of the hockey playoffs, something besides Yankees baseball, hear the ocean roar with people speaking ENGLISH around us!!!! Nothing written in Chinese for once... I guess I'm a little worried about culture shock believe it or not:)

I posted some pictures from our gathering last Friday at a traditional hot pot in Taipei. They have coals on the bottom that use the chimney to heat up the water above. You drop your food in and let it boil before taking out and eating. It was AWESOME! Hot pot is both a favorite of Sarah and I.... wonder if we can find hot pot in Florida....
