9,000 Mile Cream Rum

I couldn’t stand it much longer without the newly acquired taste for cream rum. Not just any cream rum would do, I wanted Cruzan Cream rum.

I bopped over to the state own liquor store to buy a bottle of fine Cruzan Cream rum yesterday. I will never figure out why our state is in the retail liquor business.

I hardly ever end up in a liquor store so I spent quite a bit of time looking around. Finally I gave up and asked the clerk where a man might find a bottle of fine Cruzan Cream Rum. He pointed over to a shelf that indeed had many kinds of Cruzan rum, but not the one kind I desire.

Not to be discouraged, I looked up Cruzan Cream Rum online and found that I could order this stuff online because of the lowered alcohol content. It was considered more of cordial rather than hard liquor. So I placed an order for two bottles. A cordial in the south is good for what might ail you so I felt justified in my quest and two bottle order.

Today I got the UPS tracking information and the rum was shipped from California. This is insane. This stuff was made in St Croix and bulk shipped to Florida (only the local stuff is bottled on the island). There in Florida it was mixed and bottled, then shipped to California. Now it is being shipped back to Charlotte and should be here next Friday.

You know how I enjoy a good package tracking. Hopefully I will see my rum on the 20th.

It's good to know that the rum cream can be shipped. A new idea for holiday and birthday gifts!
Are there really 117 days until your next visit? Cool!! We'll be counting down with you....

177 or there abouts. We don't have flights or lodging but I will deal with that soon. I have plenty of air miles and it will be off season by then. Plus I am prepared for Peter this time.
