Another possibility was - Did you fly? I got the worst cold/sinus infection this summer and couldn't even blame it on my grandkids, let alone my senior mom. They were all healthy. Everyone I knew was healthy. But there were at least two people around me on the plane who were decidedly UNhealthy - one so bad they had to have a nurse look him over. I don't think I got his bug - mine was different - but I did get someone's. The hard part is, there really are times when people HAVE to fly - healthy or not. So I'm doubling my Vitamin C next time I pack those travel bags. :) I hope you feel better SOOOON!!! :) :) :) You poor thing! Another possibility was – Did you fly?

This results in a lack of sleep. But when we are on a long term trip, we have to remember that health and fitness are critical. We need to slow down, get plenty of sleep and remember the tips you described above. Thanks Donna!

One thing more you might have added from your personal experience. You'll be very busy playing catch up when you get home, but if you're feeling bad–see your doctor!

Thanks so much for this great post!

One of the best aspects of travel is shaking up your usual routine a little, but you're right that some things need to be non-negotiable! I hope you're back to 100% soon.
