Because cash is tight we're flying out of LAX again.  Parked in Lot B about 400 miles from the terminals and took the shuttle in.  No trouble there.  Since we were on little known Midwest Airlines check in and security was a breeze.  Amenities in…More »

I've flown Midwest several times now, from LA to Boston and New York through Milwaukee, and from LA to San Antonio through Kansas City, and so far it remains my favorite domestic airline.  The seats are large and comfy, the staff is always…More »

Prolly a nice airport before 9/11.  You shouldn't have to repass through security just to change planes on the same airline.

It's a mess with construction right now.  Otherwise it's an effective but average airport.

My parents live in Kerrville, so a stop at Rudy's on the way in from the airport is tradition with us.

I'm dinking them a star because this last time the ribs were tough and somehow we didn't end up with any golden crust bread.  In actuality you could…More »

So we're here in Texas where breakfast can be an orgasm inducing experience, but my folks wanna go to IHOP.  Fuck, what a waste of a meal opportunity! :(

We tried to be nice, but this place was in shambles.  I don't know what was going on in the…More »

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that shit, but I love Whataburger and have to visit whenever there's one around.

Unlike most burger chains that feature sweet burgers, Whataburger makes sour burgers.  Drenched in mustard rather than ketchup…More »

These are some weird ass round awesome sandwiches!  I don't know how they prepare the bread, but it comes across as a big tender yet crispy crumpet.  Never had the pizza.  Hell, never had anything but the turkey club.  Why give them the chance to…More »

This could be a lovely center if they'd tap the potential they have in their location right above the river.  As it is the center is kind of redundant in a region where a drive down any country lane offers wonderous vistas of nature's majesty.

A nice park on the river.  My wife loved the seesaws and the carousel, which we don't see in all our local "built last year and made by Fisher Price" playgrounds.

Well, I guess I can dismiss Bobby Flay's Throwdowns.  I was expecting puffy taco heaven with a nice dollop of guacamole on top.  What I got was dishearteningly tame and guacamoleless.

Beautiful restaurant.  The service was attentive once we told them…More »

Recently updated lists from Dan H.

The Hurd's Festivus Meander '11 (17)

Holiday roa-oa-oa-oa-oad.

Prince Edward Island (18)

Yes, it exists!  It's in Canada!  Even though the employees of the airline that gets you there have never heard of it or know where it is!  This list is now expanded and complete now that Yelp discovered Canada.

Big Bear (7)

Ski and eat, or in my case, just eat.

Hollywood Debauchery! (5)

I wish my friend would turn 40 every year! :D

Modest-esto-esto-eh-eh-eh (7)

Our weekend in Modesto, where I was playing the X Fest.

NYC (13)

3.3 stars!  You can't fly across the country just to see Genesis at Giants Stadium.  You have to spend a few days doing other crap too!  Here's the other crap we did:

Our 12th Anniverary (6)

4 stars!  Most folks are lucky to be married twelve months, let alone years.  Dumb bastards!

Da Hurd Family Vacation '07 (21)

3.6 stars!  If you happen to be taking the exact same trip as us then...
