What a way to end a trip

Today has been reserved as a day to recover. I would normally be excited about catching up on my blogging regarding my Las Vegas trip and my cruise to the Bahamas, but a case of food poisoning at the end of the trip has slowed things down a tad.

The culprit: Manchu Wok -- Orange Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. On the flight from Tampa to Chicago, I started getting that terrible feeling. I knew then that the day was going to have a bad ending. I made it back home and actually into my own driveway, but the minute I stepped out of the car ...

I am trying to carefully rehydrate myself today. Too bad such a great vacation had such a nasty ending. I'll try to start my trip reviews tomorrow after a little more rest today.

Oh yeah -- here is a picture of yours truly and Mrs. Lightning enjoying the cruise.
