Reality Check is going tropical--if it goes at all

I may be unemployed, but I'm still going on vacation. Restaurant Reality Check is heading south to find warmth, beach front and (hopefully) authentic Caribbean cuisine. I hope to write about that experience here, but could be thwarted by technology issues, scolding fellow travelers and, most threatening of all, acute insobriety. So if the postings thin out until Jan. 11, or cease altogether until then, don't fear a kidnapping.

However, my first post will consist of words cut from other postings and pasted together into a note.

Happy New Year.
