$10 at O’Hare gets you…

A 20 oz. Sam Adams draft, a sawbuck and a handful of change.

I realize that airports can make for a captive audience, but this is completely nutty. In an airport the size of O’Hare, I would think there might be some decent choices to consider.

Not so. In fact, it took me 20 minutes to find a bar that served anything that was not an Anheuser-Busch product, so finding a Sammy was as welcome a sight as I’ve seen around here.

Packing light for once

Posted at 1:35 pm by Patrick under Dublin + Belgium:2005

While it might not look that impressively small, this is what I’ve packed for the six day trip.

The thing you can’t see is the 2,800 cubic centimeter internal frame backpack that is packed *inside* the roll-aboard, which takes 20 percent of the inside space.

Of course, the backpack will hold all of my stuff for the return trip easily, allowing the black wheeled bag to be the beer vessel.

Here’s hoping for a whole lot of Westy 12!
