Travel Arrangements, Deal or No Deal, Food and Top Chef (and they are all related!)

[mlleelizabeth]

With a little plea for help from Floridians and Top Chef fansOkay, passport applied for and being walked-through, so that hurdle's taken care of. (I technically still had time to do an expedited but not walked through passport, but I was cutting it pretty close and anyway I feel more comfortable having someone who handles them every day fill out

It sounds like you wouldn't enjoy The Food Gange as much as you would Tantra. And I'm not sure how much faith I have in aphrodisiac foods anyway ;) I say Tantra.

I hope you do enjoy the trip as much as humanly possible!

... er, The Food Gang. Apparently my keyboard has decided to convert random words into fake Middle English? i don't know!

LOL!!! I typed The Food Gong originally and had to fix it!

Yes, I think Tantra is the way to go. I checked and there are no Top Chef Chicago Cheftestants from Miami (but one from Fort Lauderdale, which is too far for a late dinner). So Tantra it probably is. Yum! I read the menus and the food looks incredible. Plus there is fresh cut grass on the floor, among other things.

Oh, and thank you! I think I am starting to find things about it I will enjoy. A is checking to see if they have DVD players on board. If not I may buy a portable and take some movies to watch as well as books to read. Anything to do will help with 5 days on a ship and no stops and nothing to do! A seems to think all 40 of us will want to watch the ship's crew for 5 days straight, but ... no.

Oh, absolutely, food shopping on an empty stomach is never a good idea. All of a sudden, the teetering stacks of refined carbs start looking awfully good!

So true! Walking by the baked goods aisle was painful! I swear the bad food starts talking when you're really hungry.
