Go on a tropical vacation in the winter they said. It’ll be such a nice break from the cold they said. I’m sure it would have been – if we hadn’t all gotten sick, one at a time. Have you ever had a fever in 100 degree heat in a hotel without air conditioning? I have. So while we intended to go hiking and explore the rainforests and go jet-skiing and drink frozen pina coladas, we mostly watched a 36 hour Friends marathon on the one station with English shows. Happy New Year.
Pro-tip: If you tend to get sick at the exact same time every year, do NOT plan to travel at that time. You are only tempting fate.
