I can relate to this! Sorry you got sick on vacation!

In 2015 I went to Iceland with my mom, and caught a nasty cold a couple days beforehand. The flight over was miserable but since I had been sick in advance I was able to pack NyQuil, etc, and make the most of it.

A couple months ago I went to a wedding in British Columbia. I got horrible food poisoning on the drive from the airport in Seattle to cross the border and had to be sick on the side of the road because there were no open gas stations for miles and miles.

Then I felt better the next day for the wedding, and then the day after the wedding I came down with a cold/flu for the remainder of the trip. Not sure if my immune system was compromised by the food poisoning or what. We didn’t get to do much in Vancouver because I was too ill, and I had to spend a bunch of $$ on gas station DayQuil and gingerale since we had a 5 hour drive from the wedding back to the next leg of our trip. Then I returned to work still sick and felt totally unrefreshed!
