Operation "Gobble Gobble"

Ok, so here's the plan. I'm at Yokota Air Base in Tokyo... a beautiful base! (I'll get to that at a later time).

One of the features of the base is a fully functioning commissary, a food section that would make a Super Wal-Mart food section jealous.

Next week is Thanksgiving, and the going rate for a turkey in Shanghai is $100 for a small bird and over $150 for a good-sized bird. They know the only dummies who want to buy turkeys are us "rich" Americans (haven't they been watching the news lately to know we're no longer "rich!"). So here's the plan, bring back a bird for Thanksgiving!

Ah.... which one?
Morgan said no more than 20 lbs because Chinese ovens are so small. This is the biggest without going over... coming in at 19.71 lbs...
So here's the plan, place the turkey in a thermo-bag to keep it cold. I wonder what a turkey looks like on the x-ray machine? This suitcase will be full with all of Morgan's other requested stuff...

Wish us luck!
