Recently I got good reports from two of our regulars on their vacations -- at least the eating part. They are both long but worthwhile.I'm going to start with Hal Laurent's on the week he and his wife spent in Ocean City. I suggest you save it as a reference for a future trip. After all, September and October are two of the nicest months to visit the ocean. Later today or tomorrow: Retired in Elkridge goes west. Here's Hal. I met him for the first time at a party Labor Day weekend; and believe m
