Coffee or Cocktails – How To Make A Decision

While drinking my airport coffee at the crack of dawn, I overheard a woman say, “If you’re going to day drink, you’ve got to start early.”

It was funny.

And, honestly, kind of inspiring.

She was clearly a professional.

I, meanwhile, was trying not to faceplant over my luggage on the escalator.

Traveling is a lot of hard work.

Packing, planning, dog-sitting, mail pickup, wondering if I remembered to turn off the air conditioning…

By the time I got to the airport, I was exhausted.

If I had a Bloody Mary at 6 a.m., I’d probably fall asleep in it.

Maybe that’s the secret.

Day drinkers start their vacation relaxed, while I start mine hyperventilating over my boarding pass.

This time I stuck to coffee.

But perhaps it’s time to reconsider.

Maybe on my next trip, I’ll take that woman’s sage advice and start drinking cocktails at the crack of dawn.

What do you think?

Coffee or cocktails?

Tell me in the comments.

I’m taking notes for my next vacation.
