In an attempt to respond to the following post by Tartegogo, I discovered my travel thread had been moved to the Sandbox. I do not feel I deserved the treatment I received. I will discuss those details privately with Oz, but until further notice, readers may consider this my last post to this board. For anyone who works in the hospitality business, the entertainment business, the publishing business, or any first class design business, staying in a luxury hotel is indeed no big deal, especially when some other corporate entity is footing the bill. It's certainly no big deal to me, as I'm sure it's no big deal to a lot of men who hire escorts when they travel. I rarely use the word hate, but I hate TROLLS and I hate liars. In that spirit, I have decided to post a few images of paper from my recent trip: my return boarding pass, and two restaurant receipts. Important private numbers have been redacted. During the last week of my trip, I had no business planned. It was a week to relax, say a few thank you's, and eat really good food. I decided to visit two favorite places in Tuscany. Whenever I'm in or near Tuscany, I can't resist my favorite little town of Montemerano, which most tourists have never heard of. For me, it's an old discovery, one I've cherished since working on the movie "Amadeus." It's also home to Ristorante Da Caino, one of my favorite restaurants in all of Italy. I'm a huge fan of Valeria Piccini's genius cucina, and I will do whatever I can to visit her restaurant as often as possible. The menu degustazione is not for the faint of heart, but this is certainly not Paris. 360€ turned out to be $430, not the most expensive dinner for two I've ever had, but well worth every centième d'euro. La Chiusa is my second most favorite place to eat in Tuscany, also dating back to the early 80's. There are few words to describe the talent, beauty, and elegance of Dania Masotti, chef extraordinaire. A tasting lunch on their Montefollonico patio, overlooking the gorgeous ridge that divides the Val d'Orcia from the Crete Senesi, is pure heaven. Until we meet again... RH
