random vacation thoughts...

The fam and I are on vacation right now. Day three. Here are some random thoughts:

  • $8.49 for an Arby's "value" meal at the airport seems like a contradiction to me. Why not just call it what it is: a "No-value meal."
  • On the airplane, why not just put some ice in a cup, pop the can open and hand them both to me. Is it really necessary to pour a little bit in the cup, wait for the fizz to go down, pour a little more, wait some more...just so the airline can save half a can?
  • The Akron-Canton airport rocks. I love it. Easy to get in, easy to find your gate, not crowded...Atlanta airport...that's a different story.
  • Speaking of ATL...world headquarters for Coca-Cola. So you'd think, if they're going to sell Coke in a vending machine at the airport, they'd at least make sure it's cold! "Welcome to ATL, home of warm Coke and the world's most crowded airport."
  • It rained our first full day here (Ft. Myers, FL). So it was groceries at Wal-Mart day. Spent $200 there. Jenny tells me that we would have spent that much if we'd stayed home anyway. Hey, ya gotta eat, right?
  • Ricos nacho cheddar cheese sauce is the best!
  • There's a brand new Famous Dave's here in Ft. Myers. We'll be hitting that this week.
  • We plan to visit this church this Sunday.
  • My brother-in-law pastors a Southern Baptist church in Indiana. You can find his blog here.
  • I love my wife.

Hay John and Jenny,

Hope you'll have lots of fun times on your vacation. John stop whining and just enjoy hanging out! :) Whatever you are doing in Florida has to beat whatever the working class(which includes us) is doing in Ohio warm coke and all. Plus, your dissing my old stomping grounds and you know I can't let you get by with that. We love you'll, Duane & Stephanie
