The streamlined flying boat, now painted military camouflage over its Pan Am livery, hurtles over the Atlantic under dark, ominous skies. The once-calm sea below begins to churn, with waves growing increasingly turbulent. As night approaches the distant flashes of lightning accompanied by the distant rumble of thunder indicate the severity of the impending storm.
Foynes is home to a flying boat museum which I was lucky enough to visit some years back. It houses a Pan Am Clipper fuselage and pieces of other flying boats. Fascinating to find out this is the home of Irish Coffee.
Frankie and I went to the Buena Vista Cafe on our first trip together to San Francisco! 🙂
I have never been, but it is on my list :-)

I still haven't been there either, but I'd love to see it.
