Nana,
Thanks for the great report. It gives all of us who didn't go a taste of what we missed. The only reason I dislike my job is that I don't get much of a opportunity to leave town, except for the month of August.
Overall, I think you did some really great collecting while there. The MOP and the "personal" chip are probably the winners!
P.S. and FYI, I can understand why you didn't care for In-N-Out. It really is one of those things you either really like or don't at all. There seems to be little in-between. That said... the one mistake was getting it to go and having it (even a little bit) later. So much better right away, especially the fries.
Thanks again for the great trip report!!
