I want to take a timeout here mention a quirk from our trip that doesn't really fit neatly into any particular blog post. I'm not sure if it was the crazy busy schedule we kept for 10 days, the close quarters we were all in, the cleanliness or lack thereof in a few of the hotels we stayed in, or just a general lack of sleep but pretty much every single person on our trip got sick throughout the week. We had at least 5 people go to the hospital, 2 with hernias, 1 with bronchitis, 1 with the flu, and 1 for a fall down some stairs. At least another 20 (we only had 36 people on the trip) had some sort of cold, cough, or god knows what other virus flying around. The final closeout session was literally a chorus of coughs, sneezes, and sniffles. I consider myself extremely lucky that I started to feel a little under the weather on Day 3 but I never experienced anything more than a stuffy nose. Some of my trip mates faired much worse. The interesting thing is that no one ever complained about someone else getting them sick. Sure, we all felt under the weather, but we all kept supporting each other and didn't turn negative because someone else was sick. We just supported each other the best we could - like family.
