Well I wimped out, and only brought a 750ml bottle of Belvedere. It was 26$US on sale and I figured, once my flight started getting delayed, that I wouldn't want to be held up at customs, after waiting for my bag to be offloaded. It was the right decision, as finally we were delayed even further, waiting for the Canadien's plane to be pushed back for their trip to Chicago. I guess there weren't that many people working on the ground as it was SLOOOOW.
Problem is, I use Smirnoff for mixed drinks, and premium vodkas like Belvedere for martinis. Looks like I have to drink martinis until my next trip home. Hic...
