wow...sounds like good times.
I like the good food part the best! haha
I've never been one who has been that interested in traveling to foreign countries save for a few of the major highlights...the pyramids...Sistine chapel...great wall...but one thing that would be a major draw...fine cuisine. That would draw me out of country faster than just about anything.
An around the world chow down but I need to finish eating my way through Merica first.
Sorry to hear about the length of time to recover from the jet lag but you know what they say...you play...you pay. :-)
