Down to Kentucky

Right, update. The flight out of Philly was pretty awful. The air conditioner on the plane wasn’t working so we sat on the plane for a while, then got off for a while, then back on for a while. In the end we finally took off over 3 hours late. Fun. Of course the annoying bloke not far from us didn’t help. After we got back on the plane (after it had been sitting on hot tarmac with no engines running for a couple of hours) this bloke starts shouting about how it’s still really hot and does the flight attendant have a reason for this? When she said she didn’t (erm, pretty obvious why actually) he demanded her name and then sat there and moaned just about the entire flight.
Arrived in Chicago and got the car and took off for Louisville. After sitting in traffic just outside of Chicago for hours we were finally moving, but still turned up there about 5 to 6 hours later than planned. So all in all, yesterday was a bit of a difficult day.
Today we got up, went to breakfast with my mum (Cracker Barrel which does large southern style breakfast with just about everything in them), then drove to Richmond where we are now sitting. Hopefully things will go better now.
On the way to Richmond we did a brown sign diversion. First had to stop at the candy factory for bourbon balls (chocolate and alcohol, a very nice combination). Then saw the sign for the Woodford Reserve distillery. Hmmm, bourbon. Good bourbon. Only about a mile up the road. Well, who can pass that up? We didn’t do the tour but we did have a taste (well, Joe did, I was driving). Beautiful area.
Joe’s comments have been incorporated into the message.
