ha! we watched the hall of fame game last night, i wondered what you were doing TV-wise there! there was fox business but no fox news at the Hotel Hershey, but xsboy found it for me on the laptop at channelsurfing.com. he uses it to watch SU games which aren’t televised here and found that it also had news. as long as i could hear it i was fine and they could minimize it and facebook away to their hearts content. 3 facebookers and a hub trying to check his work email and ONE LAPTOP meant i didn’t see much computer time. i could check email and FR on my phone, though.
the Chocolate Spa was fantastic. i had a cocoa massage and a facial. both were great. Did you know that they serve PIEROGIES at hersheypark in one of the food venues?? Mrs T’s is a sponsor of something there also. they also have something called a Pittsburgh sandwich, which i am guessing has the fries on it. The kids did all the rollercoasters, of which they have quite a few. The punchiest thing i went on was the Wild Mouse, which is just like Idewilds, but a bit more extreme, with the hairpin turns etc.

Fries and coleslaw.

I was watching the game, via my buddy’s TV back in the North Hills. But I need to sleep now. The bandwidth here is pretty sucky, especially since this 5-star hotel was just built for the Olymipcs last year. Every so often the video just stops and starts.

I definitly know some other sites are just banned. Like youtube.

Now they want us to stay one more day to finalize paperwork. So I won’t leave till Wednesday at the earliest. If my travel agent gets on the ball, that is. And the latest typhoon hasn’t messed up Tokyo’s schedule too much.

You two (three) Pittsburghers.... Willie posted about a local sandwich the other day - his Mom took shaved ham and made a sort of sloppy joe with it....Did either of you experience that local quisine growing up?

Oh and XS, I buy Mrs. T's pierogies (frozen) here...
