The Trip to Timbuktu

There is something to be said about a place where you eat and shit in the same room: gross!

On to more important things. The trip here could have gone better: flight delays, bad weather, a long drive after I landed. But, that's really not the worst of it. Ever had one of those flights that seemed to take forever because you were seated next to THAT guy? You know, the guy that tells you he's been happily married for 19 yrs but keeps trying to chat you up, offers to buy you beer, makes comments on your attire, and keeps leaning on you as he tries to whisper offensive things in your ear. I had that guy! What to do? Accept his offer for the beer then keep yawning and telling him you're tired and he is boring you.

But it's not all bad. Upon arriving in Timbuktu we finally tracked down some beer at a local bar that let us carry it out. We had already tried the drive thru daiquiri shop and bloody mary bar.
