Bill, I hate to bring this up now that you are home, but the duty-free shop in the San Juan airport has Barrilito 3 star for $21 - no limit. I got four, but had to give up one to our good friend for picking us up at SLC airport at 2am. The remaining three will be treasured.

A real friend would send one to a friend in need.

Just sayin.

Perhaps Andy bought them out!

Well, your "real friend" Karel already said he'd hook you up. He is sitting on an entire island of Barrilito while I am hunkered down in the mtns. with a measly 2.5 fifths. Besides, here in Utah my friends and I have a strict rule. Alcohol is only to be imported into Utah, never exported. Once it's in, it's in.

While I am averse to revealing locations of any domestic reserves of Barrilito 3 Star, Binny's- our Chicago area liquor store uber-chain- carries it for $27/bottle, or $308 a case.

I prefer to fly to San Juan to get mine :grin:

On a different note, anyone else suffering the effects of carrasco?

Damn I can't wait until the itching stops. Fortunately none in particularly bad areas.

Well I thought it was an excellent NCRC :big grin: The TOFE class was great and it was a well planned out and devious mock which made it all the better. I had a blast despite getting sick, and being plagued by the various plants on the island. Hats off to everyone, hope we have another one down there.

I managed to get into some of that or Ortiga - not sure which, but I have some patches on one leg and an arm. Not too bad, though.

Bill, how many times do I have to explain this to you?

I am a lover, not a fighter, just ask the ladies. And by definition a lover, cannot be a hater. :waving:

If I truly was a hater, I would brag about how much Barrilito I drank this weekend. :shhh:

If it's any consolation, here's one on me:
