They had some really interesting flavours too, I played i safe & got 'Lemon', 'Blackberry', 'Strawberry & Lemon Sherbet' & 'Apple & Cinnamon'.

I've got to hand it to him, he did try very hard & I was flattered! Naughty, naughty, very naughty, ah ha ha ha haaa!
A very good friend of mine now calls me mega MILF!

Welcome back Liz,
Glad to hear that you had a nice time. Isn't it nice to get back and it's like you've not been away, enjoy the Brit night tomorrow, raise a glass to absent friends (that would be me
)

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you try (and you are really, really motivated!)

I only took one aswell but then like you said, I had the car seat and all the other guff so it adds up. Thank god next time I fly I can check the car seat in and not have to cart it through the airport! ( I'm actually hoping that my son puts on 12 lbs between now and the next time we fly so that he can graduate onto a booster seat, mucher lighter to carry! )

I had the carry version of that (without the wheels) and it was NOT a lifesaver, it was a pain in the arse! I think I still have the bruises on my legs to prove it, damn thing was so heavy and awkward that it kept slamming into my legs when I was carrying it! Oh well, lesson learnt!
