San Diego Airport

A few days after Thanksgiving 2014, we started our Indonesian adventure from Lindberg field in San Diego. The flight was going to be a long one and we got to the airport super early so we decided to go have a few drinks at the bar before our flight.

Normally, 11am would be way too early to drink, but what the heck, we were on VACATION! 

After our first bloody mary, a guy sauntered up next to us at the bar and ordered a drink. He was clearly either the Most Interesting Man in the World or a close relative, so we struck up a conversation. 

After a short time, we found out his name was Paco and he was from Chicago. He was on his way back from a family vacation and revealed to us that he owned his own executive recruiting business and was of Greek Ancestry. Why his name was Paco is a mystery, but either way, we became fast friends and he ended up teaching us how to play a card game called "Casino" and bought us a few more drinks. 

We will probably never see Paco again, but he was super cool so we decided to name our beta fish "Paco Mcgillicuddy" after him. We don't know his real last name, but we figured that if a greek guy could be named Paco, his last name could be just about anything.
