Pizza in Japan

We are leaving this Friday for a family vacation in Japan. I still can't get the boys interested in Asian food. We will have a total number of 17 lunches and dinners while there. I set the over/under on the number of times we have to eat pizza at 7. Terri and the boys all looked at me, scoffed and then said "over". I will figure out a way to get some Gyudon and Gyoza while I am there.

More interesting food...



I think I have discussed the hot dogs here. You know when you go to the grocery store in the US and you see the hot dogs that are 'red'? Basically, all of them are like that and we avoid them completely. This one has cheese balls in them. Cheese of course is different here. Mainly a type of white cheddar. Regardless, I am avoiding them.

On The Road Again. Just Can't Wait To Be On The Road Again.







Hey guys it's Landon, sorry u guys haven't heard much from me, haven't gone to check the blog in awhile. I'm here to tell everybody 'bout Cebu. The first thing that gave me the feeling of being away from home was when at the airport i saw a sign on an automatic door that said in big black letters typed on yellow tape " CLEAR GLASS" Now several thoughts flashed into my head most of them were just things like "Do people need to be told that this is clear glass?" The poor travelers walking by thinking "Oh boy, someone did a good job painting whatever it is that's behind this door." or "Wow! When I go in front of it I'm painted on it!"

But the flight was ridiculous i couldn't finish my forty page magazine before we got there! The cars must be jealous!

The hotel was crazy, it has its own private beach! And tv speakers in the bathroom! And those cool clothesline things in the showers that look like bells! Here's a funny story that brennan might get mad about. ;). Brennan was taking a shower on Sunday afternoon after we came back from the beach, when he got out i went in and noticed my bathing suit was wetter than before, Brennan took a shower while the bathing suit was drying. And now for Brennan's amusement i will embarrass myself with a story. Me and my Dad were out jet skiing, and we were going against the waves so we were gettin some air. On one jump i accidentaly let go and smacked my forehead on the handlebars, but since I'm that masculine, no fears man you all know me to be, i stayed the rest of the ride, and only cried for a few minutes. So there. But seriously folks, as every comedian on earth would say, there was a lot to do there. Kayaking which is where I got a painful blister on my right hand that i am staring at right now. There was snorkeling where i lost the plastic diaphragm where i inhaled all the saltwater and had to get rescued, and there was the jetskiing. We also went golfing, me an dad, they only had six holes and it was only putting and chipping but i beat dad in two holes. Well not much else to say so our next vacation is to Corregidor, and not in the words of General Macarthur " I Shall Write Back".
