So, food poisoning. Threw up 7 times, still very strongly nauseous, standing up or sitting down or lying down or just changing my position makes me feel like I'm going to puke (although I have nothing left in my stomach, which is always fun), and I feel like absolute shit. Tired and achey and nauseous but no fever.

A doctor in the family just said I need to take two medicines, one anti-nausea, one antibiotic. Not sure if I really want to take the latter 'cause in the USA, they don't typically prescribe that except in really severe cases.

Also, problem is, I doubt I can hold down a single thing right now, water or medicine or cracker. And I'm thirsty.

*Is frustrated and furious and miserable*

ETA: Okay, feeling a good deal better now. Took medicine and slept for a while. Am almost completely non-nauseous (can hold down tea and chicken broth), and I can move! I just happen to have a fever of around 38 C (around in 100.4 in F) and thus achey muscles. Yick.

...Sad that I'm so happy I only have a fever now. Here's hoping the nausea does not come back.

....Ew. That's awful timing.

And I'm sure hiking trips are awful with food poisoning.

Was this two separate incidences, or once?

As for me, it was the day before our flight back to the States. x_X

No, this was once. I brought up the other holidays, because I know you don't celebrate Christmas and were using them as examples of days it would suck for you to get sick. Yeah, we were on a tiny ass sailboat, and my parents thought we should climb to the top of the mountain on the Island the day after.....this did not go over well.
