I suppose that I could say the same thing to you. After all, shouldn't you have been spending every second with your bride on your anniversary? Razz

PURPLE and I are in route to Las Vegas from Philly via Dallas.

GlennK, how long are you in Lost Wages? Up for a drink, bottle of wine, etc...?

Slowly but surely. It will be easier when our stuff, including our car, arrive in 2-3 weeks. It's been over 5 weeks getting by with a few plates, cups, etc. and getting around via unreliable taxis. And there's not much for M to do when the city is so unsafe to move around in. Luckily for me, work is pretty much all-consuming....Roll Eyes

I'm already back home watching football. It was a quick turn around trip for a daytime wedding and then dinner at Los.

Cheer up. Your guys have a great shot at beating the Yankees, unless somehow, the injured Pettitte (hurt his back in his last outing- just his 2nd start after returning from 2 months on the DL) and the inconsistent Hughes perform well.

I loved this place. Great feel and I love the people here. Saw alot in one day. Too bad we got to stay only one day (cruise). It's a place I would come back to.

Brother, do not forget to pick up a painting for me, and just have it shipped back.

Be well.

Brother, I think I have found a spot for my new painting you bought me in St. Tropez.

Is the new piece framed, or not?

Safe travels!

Still looking for the elusive piece de resistance.
Today, Chateauneuf du Pape for a tour and tasting at Domaine de Pegau and a nice lunch in the area to start things off.
Anyone want to form a consortium and buy a place near here? Unbelievable places to visit and live. The views are spectacular.

Today, St. Remy en Provence and Les Baux de Provence. Lunch at L'Oustreau de Baumanieres. Thanks to those that recommended the L'Ousteau, it was absolutely stellar and well worth the travel time and price.

Glad you enjoyed it. It was one of the highlights of our trip there last summer. Best sweetbreads I have ever tried.

Dok, I hope you get down to Paradou. The Wenesday market in St. Remy is a good one. The La Fabresse evoo sold in St. Remy is about the best I've ever tasted. Did you climb all the way up in Les Baux?

Clearly, too many of you have been/are in much more relaxing places than I have been in the last two weeks. Cool I just got back from various hardship sites in Congo and Rwanda.

Yesterday, Avignon with dinner at Christian Etienne. Sublime

Today, Bonniere and Apt. Leaving tomorrow and spending the day in Amsterdam before final plane home.

Fabulous trip with many fond and memorable moments.

I must confess that I am keen to get home and see my sons and my 2 furry friends (no, not asterixis et al).

Aiy. Just a wee bit of the whiskey but several pints of Guiness.

I didn't believe it when they told me, but indeed Guiness does taste differently on the Emerald Isle. Incredably creamy & smooth. Slept like a baby that night. Wink

Different water is used. I only spent time in Dublin, but the Irish are still the kindest group of people that I've met on my travels. Hope you enjoyed yourself.

Same here, gig. We're debating whether to finish next year's trip in Ireland or the Hebrides.

Back from hiatus and also a small (relatively) section hike on the Appalachian Trail – two days from Pen Mar to the Washington Monument in Boonsboro, (20 miles +/-).

Big Grin Sorry Joe, next time for sure. I've been traveling so much lately that I was really not keen on coming down a day earlier on Saturday, just so I could drink more.

Tonight, Houston, TX, where I'll be drinking with Nolan and JAR. Wink

Which part is confusing? Instead I stayed in Montreal, where I drank with you and Mimik. Big Grin

w+a, try any oysters? Seriously. Are they even for sale down there now?

I stopped at the market here in Montreal to pick up some scallops and shrimp for a risotto tonight. They had some beautiful looking, huge, shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico.

Board-O, everything we enjoyed for three days was exceptional. This was not a surprise, as the overwhelming majority of the seafood we have in Texas comes from the Gulf, and there have been no major issues whatsoever.

I'm in Houston every month ( 40 miles from the Gulf) and always ask chef friends about the issue we hear about from the media. They all just laugh. There is 1700 miles of Gulf coastline in the U.S. alone, so avoiding the small area of the oil spill for a couple of months was not hard. The only thing that was an issue was their seafood was delayed a day due to extra inspections, but all is back to normal.

New Orleans truly does have exceptional food.

Good to hear. We always thought that the only good oysters came from northern waters- then we had some Gulf oysters.
