Vegas is the first option, but I don't suppose Guðríður would have been as thrilled with that choice. They do have 24 hours of something there, but you'd be hard pressed to find Skyr on any menu.

My Iceland Air flight to Iceland had individual screens and you could pick your own movies, but it cost $10 so I didn't do it. You could watch TV shows for free but the selection was pretty bad. I can't read on planes or I get motion sickness. I also can never get comfortable enough to sleep more than a minute here and there so I usually sit there listening to music. With my knees crammed into the seat in front of me because of lack of leg room - and that's when the person in front of me isn't reclining. When they are, forget it. The plane was also ridiculously hot. I was swearing under my breath I couldn't believe how hot it was. It was only a 4.5 hour flight but it was like a form of torture to me. The flight back didn't have the individual screens, and it was a 5.5 hour flight but much better. Before getting delayed in Boston but that's a different story.

I'm with you on the eating thing. After several pathetic attempts to eat a cheeseburger and chips (Chips!) with a knife and fork (for in the left hand, of course) I finally gave up for the duration of my stay abroad and ate like an American. Most foods I could handle, but not a hamburger. Second, you are lucky Guðríður was not carried off . . . those Vikings can be crazy sometimes. Finally, if you flew Icelandic Air, I can second your thought. We were forced to watch an annoying children's show the entire flight from Iceland to NY. I was ready to flip by the time we landed. SAS was always great. Try them next time. They provide enough alcohol to satisfy a Vking- free. Oh, and finally (finally)you gotta check out Flight of the Conchords. I think you'd really like it.

Glad you had a great time. I was in Sweden one summer for that 24 hours of daylight nonsense. Trippy. I’d go to Iceland in a heartbeat! Glad you had a great time.

]]> Comment on Best burrito in Rochester by Aaron Read http://magicpork.com/2007/04/24/best-burrito-in-rochester/#comment-15287 Aaron Read Fri, 01 Aug 2008 22:26:40 +0000 http://magicpork.com/2007/04/24/best-burrito-in-rochester/#comment-15287 BTW, Don Pablos on rt.252 in Henrietta went out of business. Some buffalo wing sports bar is going in there soon. I've eaten at Sol Burrito, as of July 2008, it's okay I guess. Better than that Mexican place just SE of Strong Memorial (coincidence?) :-) and Sol is usually better than Moe's, although Moe's is pretty decent, too. But I'm sorry, NONE of those places can hold a candle to the burrito offerings in Boston. Go to Anna's Taqueria. Seriously, it is worth the six hour drive. Boca Grande is nearly worth the drive...it's not quite Anna's, but it's an acceptable substitute. But Anna's is the bomb. Giant effing burritos made fresh in front of you with DELICIOUS ingredients for five bucks. I am unashamed to admit I am Anna's bitch. :-) BTW, Don Pablos on rt.252 in Henrietta went out of business.

It looks better and is just easier to handle. Hey, sometimes I even fold the last block into a little arrow, like they do in hotels :-) Anyone want ot debate "folding" vs "scrunching" ...

You are quite a writer. Not everyone gets a chance to work with someone named Shaky ( although my father in law knows several people with just as silly nicknames) but it makes for great reading. I will be flagging this and ready for your next installment. Love ya- Aunt Lynn Your mom has told me about your blog and I am finally getting a chance to read it. You are quite a writer.
