I would have come to a complete halt after the cream puffs, put myself down in front of them with a glass of milk and polish those babies off. They look delicious, Cher. I wish I had made the Peach Torte when we had such good peaches here. Your smaller versions look yummy. I have been thinking of you all week and just hoping your having a great vacation.

Anyway, your desserts both look wonderful. I only made the palets, which are both divine and addicting. I would have loved to make the others, but I suppose there will be time!

It would have probably been a makeup (although I'm being 'good' these days).<br /><br />2) Chargers and cords and toiletries (well, most of them anyways) are always good to go... then again, at what time was that flight? <br /><br />3) Restaurant reservations... at least two or three. If there's a GPS, there's a way. <br /><br />#4 is the happy obvious... <br /><br />Have a wonderful vacation!
