CARDICIS - the end and travel back home

The chairs! I am obviously not as young as I was - that's the nature of time, but I was in SUCH pain at the end of the day yesterday. The chairs that are provided at meetings and conferences are terrible, especially if one is expected to sit in them for hours at a stretch. I ended the day swearing I had sciatica. And then the ending went on for ever - it took an hour for everyone to make a speech thanking everyone for the event. I nearly died with pain. So I skipped the other farewell events (gift exchange etc) to go to my room and try to stretch out my back. Got up early to make the American Eagle flight. The Admiral's club is fabulous - I was in it in Santo Domingo (free wifi) and in San Juan (where I'm posting this) not free but not expensive either. So - off to glorious T&T. Can' t wait to get back home and sleep in my own bed.
