i hope you're feeling better. i went to philly in june of 1980, and it sounds like it hasn't changed. that was a road trip - mom, dad, my 1-yr-old sister, and me all crammed into a vw rabbit with no air conditioner. also, in 1980, there was a heat wave. the family we stayed with had no a/c. they were some sort of weird religion that didn't believe in owning a TV set, so what i remember is being extremely hot and missing Dukes of Hazzard for the first time in my life.

oh MAN, Gump, I feel you on the flying-with-sinus-flu thing. I've had to do it a couple of times - most recently to Atlanta for a conference. I thought my head was going to explode on the plane, and I couldn't hear anything because the pressure in my head was so bad. We got to ATL and I spent the rest of the day in the fetal position in my hotel room. Yeesh.

Damn. That sounds like the trip from hell. Yet, funny because it didn't happen to me. But I hope the maid got fired & you got your stay comped! That's why I always check in hotel beds before I get in them (except I am usually checking for bugs; haven't found any yet).

I was about to complain about how long this entry was...but i read it and it wasn't really THAT long. Man, that sucks. Dude, there is NOTHING worse than Tijuana. NOTHING. Okay, maybe the Philippines.

You're right. Philly is worse than Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh is bloody hell.

Yeah, I could have told you that. Although, I did tell you to visit me. Tsk tsk. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that you're sick and that your trip sucked big, swampy ass (sad face). Chin up and other affirmations.

Here's wishes that you recover from your illness, and awful trip quickly. To answer your earlier question, I generally am functional on about 6 hours of sleep. Anything less than that edges me into the bitch zone.

and you were in the nice area! philly sucks ass, i don't care who gets offended. and the people! the people there (the ones i had to deal with anyway, i'm sure there are plenty of smart people in philadelphia, they must have all stayed home the five months i was there) are the stupidest, most violent, short-sighted, never-been-off-the-city-block, fucking mooks i have ever seen anywhere! i'd rather deal with hippies.

Welcome back. I'm glad you made it alive out of Philly.

Welcome back. Sorry the trip sucked. Glad I read that entry though, Philly was one of the places on my "places to see before I die" list. I can mark that off now.

Awww c'mon. Pittsburghs not that bad! OK well it does suck but its not hell! Gump, I agree about the food. I was in Philly for 4 days last year. After day 2 I was prepared to eat my own foot rather than pay what they were asking for quite possibly the worst food I had ever eaten.
