I only want to hear from those WHO NEVER GET SICK.

I always get sick, either before a vacation or during. I'm not that
old, but it seems that if I get sick, it will involve my vacation days,
or daze, as it turns out. I never get sick any other time of the year.
(we won't include injuries)

So, how do you still healthy before a big trip?

How do you stay healthy on the ship?


A flu shot yearly is a must. Last time I got the flu, a few years ago, I was out of commision for about 4 days. Never again if I can help it.


I got a flu shot a couple of years ago, and have not gotten one again.


Wash hands well as one should.

On the cruise ship - take extra care to wash your hands, carry a bottle of hand sanitizer. Also, when off the ship I never ever get a drink that I can't drink out of a bottle that I open personally. No ice cubes or water on land.

This year (first time for me) I decided to get a hepatitus A/B shot before going away. Its good for 15 years and will save a major illness. 


I already have one of these as a part of my work that I did before I
retired.

I rarely get sick and have never been sick before or on a cruise or
when traveling which I do a lot of, but I don't do any of those
things. 

I wash my hands rarely, and do have my hands on my face, I don't
usually use the sanitizer thingy on the ship, I drink water almost
everywhere it is said to be safe to drink and have drinks with ice
cubes and don't have a flu shot or anything like that.  I do try to
stay hydrated and carry water with me, and I don't go around kissing
or even shaking hands with people.  Since I'm retired I'm not exposed
to sick co-workers or children..

Jesus - you wash your hands rarely? I hope to God I never meet you anywhere and get an offer to shake hands. yuck
