From a distance you look like my friend

Even though we are at war

From a distance I just cannot comprehend

What all this fightings for

Despite the cold weather crowds lined up along Bardstown Road in the Highlands for Louisville’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Traveling just IS NOT fun. Maybe I should clarify. Visiting fun and exciting new places can be an great adventure but the getting there IS NOT so great. 

My alarm went off at three fifty this morning.  A short flight down to Atlanta was followed by a four plus hour flight to Seattle where we were delayed. The silver lining was the delay allowed me to grab a quick beer at the airport bar. 

I always ask for local first and Seattle’s Trickster Brewing Company’s Juice Box IPA was a nice slightly citrusy brew that was flavorful but wasn’t too hop forward. 

I’d be willing to suffer more traveling misery so I could spend a few days exploring The Emerald City and tasting her beers. 

Enough about one beer in an airport bar. I’m off to Maui and glad it’s not a six hour flight. It’s five hours and forty four minutes. If I see anything good I’ll let you know.
