I often get sick on trips. I usually pick up something on the planes. I come down with something about two days after flying. This time, I totally forgot to get a flu shot. And I didn't pick up the bug on the plane. My dad started to feel under the weather on the second tuesday (he'd had a flu shot). His head hurt, and then he got a bad cough. A couple of days later I started feeling crappy. My throat started hurting. Then I was feeling weak. Then my ears started to hurt and my sinuses got stuffed up. I spent the rest of the trip blowing my nose. My ears caused me pain on the flight into London. The first night I was really sick, I couldn't get to sleep for a couple of hours. I slept better the second night I was sick, and the next day I was feeling a bit better. I'm still not back to normal, but yesterday (a 23.5 hour day) I wasn't too bad.
