Golden Coronas in the South Pacific



Two of my girlfriends departed at 7 a.m. for a 10-day vacation in the South Pacific. The trip leaves Boston and lands in Los Angeles where the girls have a few hours layover before making their connecting flight to Tahiti. They'll spend a night in Tahiti before grabbing their diving gear, underwater cameras and yes, Coronas, and sailing out to sea. Suz and Sandy are no strangers traveling in style so it was no surprise when they made sure their 40-foot chartered boat was stocked with Corona.

I received a text message letting me know they arrived in Los Angeles and were enjoying a Corona at the airport. Apparently the U.S. dollar is good for something right now -- beer. The two cases of Corona they purchased for the yacht cost $160. I'd be looking for gold in the bottom of that beer bottle!
