I'm Coming Home

On May 9th, at 9:35PM, I will land at Newark Airport. After going through customs, I will wrap my arms around the thing I have missed the most in my time in Vietnam...


...an Espisito's roast beef sandwich with roasted red peppers, balsamic vinegar and the works. Oh and I'll hug my parents too.

(Note: The picture above is of a Bay Cities deli sandwich in Santa Monica -- my second favorite deli in America. I will eat at least two of these sandwiches each day when I visit my friends in California.)

I've booked my flight home and much to my mother's happiness, I'll be back for Mother's Day. Starting on Mother's Day I will proceed to put on 10-15 pounds of good old American food. The binging will not stop until the first week of August...when I fly back to Hanoi. That's right, I bought a round trip ticket.

Ben the sandwich is picking you up. We will be at Peter Lugars on that date.

Perhaps I'll fly into JFK or Laguardia then which are closer to Lugers. I'll eat the sandwich for dessert when I get home.
