A bagful of..

...bagels & bialys is what forced me to re-pack my suitcase. I'm convinced that the bagels at Murray's have been super-sized since my last visit. I placed my order at the counter and couldn't help but laugh when the shopping bag appeared on the counter. So much for my plan to carry the goodies onto the plane! Instead, I nestled the bread into my suitcase with its reinforced walls and crossed my fingers that my bag wouldn't get lost. Happily, American Airlines doesn't yet charge for two checked bags, and I took full advantage of it. A bag of clothes. A bag of bread. Hours later, I was reunited with both bags, and I've been happily noshing since.
