Day 224: All Good Things Must Come to an End

After nearly two weeks of traveling around Costa Rica and Panama, it's time to go home.  You know what that means...  Another tasty in-flight meal!!

Actually, as much as I appreciate the fact that Continental is one of the few airlines that still serves meals, I purchased a chicken caesar salad at Wendy's prior to the flight and had that instead of the cheese burger provided.  You'll note that I did eat the little Hershey's bar from the in-flight meal box and paired the meal with a mini-bottle of vodka mixed with club soda.  That helped take the edge off of the end of vacation!!

Day 212: Feliz Cumpleanos a Mi!!

As a foodie, I like to celebrate my birthday somewhere very special each year (2008: Chez Panisse, 2007: Gary Danko, 2006: Babbo). This year's bday dinner on a Continental airplane, however, was a lot less gourmet, but there were no complaints from me, as we were en route to Costa Rica for vacation!

More on that as the week goes on.

Tonight's dinner, as you can see, was a salad, a chicken cutlet sandwich, and a brownie thingy with NO candle poking out of it.

Day 135: Up, Up, and Away

Goodbye vacation, hello travel nightmares.  Two out of three of our flights from Key West to San Francisco were delayed and our luggage didn't quite make it but at least we had pizza!

Continental Airlines is one of the last airlines to provide free meals in flight and the food is damn tasty, too.  Bonus!

As you can see, our meal tonight was "The Right Cheese Pizza Pie" (I don't know what this means.  What is the wrong one?), an iceberg and cabbage salad, and M&Ms.  Oh yea, and a gin & tonic that I didn't have to pay for because we turned in a free drink voucher.

It's not a giant plate of steamed shrimp, but it was good.  And if they're going to lose anything, I rather it be my luggage than my food any day.
