I'm back home, after a pleasant trip were I somehow managed to score upgrades to business class for each and every leg! I did lose all my sim cards somewhere in my travels; my Canadian, Italian, Tanzanian, Moroccan, Kenyan and Romanian sim cards were all in a small pouch I somehow misplaced. C'est la vie. Since I won't be involved in helicopter related activities while home for the holidays, I thought I'd post some Christmas ideas for guys, in case you ladies were wondering....
Fine single malt Scotch! There's quite a selection out there, from the strong smoky and peaty Ardbeg, the rich and lustrous Lagavulin, or the pleasant, smooth and spicey Glenmorangie Nector D'Or. If I could have only one Scotch, it would be the Lagavulin, but they all have something to offer. They'd probably go well with a cigar but I made myself sick while sitting in a garden in Cuba, reading Hemingway, sipping Cuba Libres, and doing my best to enjoy a Cohiba. I was green less than half way through and couldn't shake it for the rest of the day. My first and last cigar. So....Scotch yes, cigar optional.
Another great gift idea is old time shaving supplies, readily available online. I've been shaving with electric for decades but recently made a swap back to blades. I found out that two, three and four blades have nothing on the old double bladed safety razor my Dad used, other than heavy marketing spousing their neccesity, and I found these heavy quality Ikon razors a pleasure to shave with. I picked up a shorter one for travel, as well as a home and travel version of badger hair shaving brushes and real soaps. Pretty cool. If you've really got some cash to burn, I've got a Norco Sight Carbon on order as well....
I can't imagine anyone not wanting one of these beasts under their tree come Christmas morning....
