I wasn't familiar with jagermeister or a jäger bomb before this, so I'm glad I was able to sample It. Cocktail blends are more my cup of tea.

Thanks to all of the participants and organizers for a fantastic DO - esp. Andre!

fyi, I did the Island Hopper last month. It was easy to book on AP (60,000) with stopovers in both ROR & MNL.

Ahem, ahem... "old farts"...ahem, ahem. Life is a circle, with the same destination for all of us. One reaps what one sows, so one day YOU will be at the receiving end of this description....be kind.

I plan on doing it again this year. Still on the bucket list since we broke down in KWA, rescue 737 took us indirectly, sort of direct to GUM. Still have 5 more islands to land on.

Check out my instagram page, you'll see some pic of my typical drink of choice, Kettle-Cran (Cape Codder) I'll usually go through 10 - 12 of those in 4 hours. My regular bartender loves me!

I mean, hell, I drink quite a bit, but 8 shots and then being called into work? I would have faked an illness instead
I don't have the option of not going in to work at this point, stuff has got to be done, hence my missing the YVR do this weekend, I was otherwise occupied with airplane stuff.

Yes, seriously, what's up with that?

Do I have to take you under my wing?
