Reminisces of times past.
Trying to buy this lovely rich bourbon coming through JFK a while ago was a bit of an experience.

You don’t get to carry your own purchases to the plane.
It’s ferried to the gate on little trollies.
When boarding begins – an amusing form of bingo starts.

‘Pink 71 – White 24’ is shouted out by staff as harried passengers queue to collect their duty free.
Husbands deserted wifes waiting for perfume.
Wifes deserted husbands waiting for whiskey.
This pantomine slowed up the boarding process & several passengers got irate.
I just smiled – Wild Turkey Barrel Proof is worth waiting for.

It ended my American travels on an entertaining footnote.
