The boondoggle is over

Posted by Patrick under Great Alaska Barleywine Fest:2006

Needless to say, I am disappointed that the trip to Alaska didn’t come together like I had hoped. I’ve never been that far north before, and seeing our 49th state would’ve been very cool indeed. Though the main goal wasn’t achieved, I did manage a few noteworthy accomplishments:

• Miles flown: 4,322
• Free wireless networks accessed: 1 (go PDX!)
• Beers consumed: 3 pints + 1 sampler
• Times seeing Olga Korbut’s “Perfect 10″ on Delta’s inflight entertainment: 3

I’ll know I’ll make it to Alaska this year, and Andrea wants to go too (so long as it’s a bit warmer). In the meantime, I have my eye on the National Winter Ales Festival in Manchester, England next weekend as a make-up beer festival. We’ll see if that comes together or not.
