Well, I knew it would happen eventually. Yep, after 6 weeks in Nepal, I finally got food poisoning. But that's not the worst. It started just as I was packing up for a flight to Varanasi, India. I felt nauseous during the 1 hour taxi ride to the airport, and then while standing in the ½ hour security lineup to get into the Airport, I started sweating and feeling I would need a toilet very soon. There were no toilets except inside the airport, so I walked to the front of the line, and told the security guard I was sick. I must have looked pretty bad as he looked at me and then let me through right away. I made it to the toilet in time and then kept notes of the nearest toilets. On the plane I asked for an Airsick bag. and although I didn't need it on the plane, it came in handy during the 1 hour taxi ride to my Varanasi hotel. I then holed up in the rather grimy hotel for a day. Just as my travel medical book says, after releasing everything from both ends, I felt much better after 24 hours. I guess it could have been worse, but the timing was definitely not good.
