I Got Sick on Vacation – and Why I Wasn’t Worried

With our Globus tour director in Ireland, the amazing Liz!

We had a great time on our guided tour of Ireland last fall – but for about a day and a half, I decidedly was NOT having a great time. In fact, I was having a miserable time.

Yup, I got sick.

Well that’s one way to pack……

It’s almost time for your vacation, but there’s one little thing standing between you and your destination.
