Eastbound and down…

By the time you read this, I’ll be somewhere over the Pacific, heading for the barn…


And for those who questioned coffee by Coke, here’s the machine!





And I have a rule of one good meal a det, and we finally got that last night, at one of my favorite places in WESTPAC.


For you old WESTPAC hands, two pics that ‘should’ tell you where we ate! 🙂



And here are a couple of pics of a real rickshaw from Hong Kong and yes they really were licensed!!!



And no, it wasn’t in the restaurant back in the day…


And one last hint for you old farts…



Yes, that IS the ceiling, and yes those are mostly dollar bills…  The ‘deal’ was if you could stick your dollar in the x ring, your meal was free! Never was able to to that one… sigh…


And the answer is-


Sam’s Anchor Inn!  


Great Teppanyaki restaurant, steaks/seafood and all the trimmings, including some just flat butt ugly ‘souvenir’ glasses.  And it cost a ‘bit’ more than the $4-5 that it used to, but it was still a great meal, and a good way to unwind after the time on the road.  


Those opening pics are the stairs and entry way, literally covered with 30+ years of business cards from all over the world.  If I dug back far enough (assuming I could remember where we stuck it), we’d find a Dragon Zap stuck up on the ceiling.


And say a prayer for all those who are in the grip/path of the storms that are moving across the country right now.  They need our help.
