<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All, I just wanted to let you all know that my trip to the Dominican Republic was a great success. Thanks to all the encouraging list members who helped me decide to take the challenge and go on the vacation that my boyfriend won, I ended up having an amazing time! I brought over main staples like rice crackers, rice cakes, nuts, and GF cookies. The resort we stayed at had a huge buffet set up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There was always plenty of fresh fruit. I could usually find either plain potatoes or white rice and they would cook the meat right in front of you so you knew what was on it. I never once felt that I didn't have enough to eat. Once I knew that the food situation wasn't going to be a problem, I relaxed and enjoyed the rest of my vacation. Thanks again to all the supportive list members. Judith :o) Ottawa, Ontario - Canada
