No 2' dish required. Get a small 19dbi flat panel for each end. I use have a couple of Arc Wireless antennas from e-comm. They are about $55 each and come with mounting brackets. Work great.
By the way... I have found that setting up the link in an AP/Client configuration does not significantly affect the performance, and is more convenient than PtP (Wireless Bridge Mode). Give it a try both way - it's easy to change.

I was thinking something along the line of a 2 foot parabolic, but would much rather defer to the experiences of the group than to guess. Thanks for everyone's help!
