Ketchup is the worst condiment ever created. @jcyclonee thinks he's funny.

Worst? Hardly. I have an acute case of mayophobia. That stuff is by far the worst.

Ketchup I don't have a lot of use for either. But the probably two times a year I end up with McDonald's fries in front of me, McDs ketchup is the bomb with it.

It's definitely the worst. :)

I also don't eat a lot of fries but McDs fries require no dipping into anything. They're perfect solo if they're fresh. As for lesser fries my go to dipping options are aioli or cheese sauce. Who doesn't love cheese fries?!

@cycloneG thinks he's too good for ketchup. Ed Sheeran disagrees.

Hawaii time IS best time.


I don't disagree but it doesn't work well when I need to be on central time. When DH didn't want to get out of bed yesterday I said you must, it's so late, we have stuff to do! He's like but it's so eaaaaaarly Hawaii time.

Hey also, we had shave ice and that was pretty good but ice cream still wins. I think we ended up going to Lappert's three times. Twas delish.

Thank you! I have ALL THE PASTA on my itinerary. And pizza - I've found the best pizzerias in Rome. I can't wait to breathe the fresh, salty air and see things that were around before Jesus!

That's on my list of dream vacations. I love history and seeing epic historical sites. I've only left the US for one trip to Mexico and a short jump over the border to Canada before passports were required. That and a trip to Hawaii are my most far reaching trips.

No kidding. Why is it that McD fries are amazing for about 5 minutes and then become inedible?

You didn’t have the right shave ice then. Did you get it with sweetened condensed milk in it?

Very similar here. Tijuana, several places in Canada, and Alaska are my extent. This is the first time I've crossed an ocean.

You definitely picked a great destination for your first. Of the handful of European countries I've visited, Italy has been my favorite especially Rome. You can't go 20 feet without seeing something cool.

It had macadamia ice cream on the bottom. Well, mine did. DH's didn't. His was blood orange and something with a k. It was good. Don't remember seeing ones that had the milk in it.

We also accidentally got sorbet one day instead of gelato, that was a mistake.

Depending on where your flight originates it will most likely be a 7-8 hour flight. Drink lots of water as airplane air will dehydrate you. You'll most likely fly out in the evening and arrive in the morning. Don't nap, just stay up all day and you decrease the odds of experiencing any jet lag. I have flown overseas 3 times and staying up all day has never failed me. Of course I have worked off hours a great deal of my life so switching from days to nights became routine for me.

I like most aioli better than ketchup, but in the case of cheese versus ketchup on fries, I prefer slightly elevated blood sugar to multiple bypass surgery.

If you were concerned about health, you wouldn't be eating the fries in the first place. Wallaby's cheese fries are the greatest thing ever.
