Thanks folks !!
Thanks to everybody for the best wishes ! I was actually traveling on business (NY, OH, IL, RI) all last week so couldn't quite afford the luxury of hang-over
I did have a superlative meal at Charlie Trotter's in Chicago that made it all worth it. Really sublime food and service !
Funny how I must have brought back the US weather because it's been cloudy/rainy in San Pedro de Macoris since I got back yesterday ! I want my sun back !!
