[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got food poisoning once on day 1 and spent the entire expensive vacation in an expensive hotel room bathroom floor while my DH did a few of the expensive excursions by himself and we let the other ones go to waste. It was awful, and frankly 8 years later it still is to remember. I always plan for bad weather wherever we go and my expectations there are always low, but you can’t plan for [b]debilitating illness[/b]. [/quote]

Food poisoning is not a debilitating illness. Try an auto-immune disease on for size. Or maybe threw in a few brain tumors. :roll: [/quote]

DP but in the scope of a short period (vacation) food poisoning that keeps you holed up for days is debilitating. It makes you unable to participate in anything planned during travel which is the purpose of this thread.

I once took a trip with extended family, our toddler threw up on the plane ride down and in the coming days every single other person went down like dominoes (kids, parents, grandparents). The people not sick yet were busy taking care of those who were (I’ve never cleaned so much vomit out of car seats and such in my life) and then the people who recovered helped bring water and crackers to the ones who got it last. I was the very last hold out and spent the last 48 hours of “vacation” vomiting. We finally all felt better on the day of our flight home. Pretty sure it was norovirus and it was absolutely debilitating for us.[/quote]
