Greetings from …. Newark?

My Israel vacation which was short to begin with now has an added 16 hour tour of Newark, NJ. It seems El Al had oversold about 20-40 seats on the Tel Aviv flight, leaving me and several others stranded. I’m writing from the Ramada near the airport which isn’t too bad, and about to dine on the fine cuisine of the Starlite cafe. On the plane I pulled out a notebook with some notes from my Costa Rica trip reminding me that its been so many months since posting a blog entry… I run into so many different adventures that all seem to deserve writing about and then get swamped with work and … Ahh you know the drill Anyway, I am excited about my trip, seeing my family, including my new niece. My brother is picking me up at the airport tomorrow morning and I guess I will start planning my vacation at that point. On a plus is that El Al is giving me a free round trip to be used anytime within the next year, so I have my next world travel vacation paid for, well at least the airfare part. I am still exhausted from this week but actually more rested today then when I started this journey. With a 2pm flight, I may be able to attempt a jet lag reset before I arrive. Any way, going to eat my breakfast. It would be nice to get some more entries here as the past year has flown by so fast. OK, more later…

WKRP Restaurant Review

OK, need to point out a couple of good dines I enjoyed this week in Cincy. First is the Iron Chef Grill on Fields Ertel Road and Waterstone Boulevard in North Eastern Cincinnati. They featured a great sushi bar (including local ‘Bengal rolls’) and a bunch of Hibachi grills. Service and food was excellent, there were almost as many employees as guests in the restaurant. I enjoyed the Hibachi filet and scallops. For drinks we had a nice Sake. It was tasty and served chilled. Dessert was a ‘mochi’ green tea ice cream with a pastry outside. Highly recommended! Tuesday night I had an opportunity to dine at Abuelo’s Mexican Food Embassy. For dinner I enjoyed the ‘Los Mejores de la Casa’, which was a combination of bacon wrapped beef tenderloin medallions with bacon stuffed shrimp stuffed with jalapeno and cheese. Tasty food, great service, and reasonably priced. The margaritas were good too. www.abuelos.com. OK back to work.

Differences Between Atkins Diet and the South Beach Diet

Many critics would say that to follow the Atkins Diet will in the long term do more damage to your health than good but the followers of Atkins swear by the fast weight loss and renewed energy.
