48 hours

I want to go home. Not that I want to ET or anything, I just really miss America and I need a break. I played a game with myself the other day, and I called it "48 hours in America". So the premise is that if I were to be instantly teleported home at 12:01am Saturday morning to be instantly teleported back at 12:01am Monday morning, what would I do with my 48 hours in America? It's tricky cause I would want to do things like sleep in a comfortable bed, but I don't know if that time would be better spent doing something more fun. Also, there are about 5 thousand different things I would want to eat, but how much can one really eat in only 48 hours? Oh, and everything but by body would be disintegrated in the teleportation process, so I'd come out naked on the other end -Terminator stye- thus preventing me from bringing anything home or back. So, this is the list I came up with.
  • Have a donut (or five) and a coffee at Dunkin Donuts
  • Go to the movies
  • Go to a bar and have a delicious beer on tap and maybe flirt with some girls (in English, obviously)
  • Eat at a diner
  • Go to a Reggae show
  • Take the subway somewhere (speedline counts)
  • Eat a cheesesteak
  • Drive a car
  • Play around on the internet (but just for a bit, I could easily get carried away)
  • Eat a Philly soft pretzel
  • Take as many hot showers as I can
  • Eat Chinese food


...And then I would undoubtedly fill the remaining time with whatever came up. Oh, and here's the thing, everyone is invited to do all of this stuff with me, but I'm not going out of my way to see anyone; you're going to have to come to me. I mean, come on, I only have 48 hours. I may be teleported at any moment, so if I show up at your door at midnight some Saturday in the future, have a pile of clothes waiting for me and 100 bucks in cash, and be ready to have an awesome weekend.
