Leaving on a jet-plane



Been away with the family for a couple of weeks; we went to Boston for five days and then toured around New England, Vermont mainly, it was lush! Flew out on Sunday 3rd July from LHR (quieter) from T5 and I was expecting the usual wide bodied jet like a 777 or similar, but we got an Airbus A380! An amazing plane, absolutely vast with spiral staircases at either end! It was an uneventful 7 hour flight over the pond and we arrived into Logan airport in the early afternoon, just enough time to check into our hotel and have a little wander around in the sunshine to stave off the jet lag. It was early enough that I managed to nab a cheeky pint of Trillium beer from their tap room, which was only a few hundred yards from our hotel, after a long day of travelling it didn't touch the sides!


As you can see these guys specialize in ultra hoppy "murk bombs", the one pictured above was called "Little Rooster" and featured Galaxy and Nelson hops, a master class in balance and flavour! It was delicious and lasted about 90 seconds in the 28 Celsius heat of the late afternoon sun.
