Have you ever lost your bag or fallen sick while travelling?

I had enjoyed traveling through Sumatra when I was 20 and I waited to catch a ferry to Medan to Penang. I bought a delicious looking salad to eat. I boarded the ferry and couldn't stop being sick. I was throwing up and there was no way I could take in the sea air because I was stuck inside. I developed a high fever and couldn't eat or drink because I would throw up. I was weak and tired after that sickness I had. I had a wonderful time in Kuala Lumpur and then got a train and then bus to Mersing. One evening I went out to get a meal but I fell down an open drain and injured my leg. I came home from my trip around the world on crutches. In the Maldives when I was 34 I was walking along a lonely beach and then I was attacked. That was my worst travel experience. I had fear in Nairobi but stayed safe but I was harmed in Paradise where up until that point I had felt safe. How strange.

The only cruise I have went on, I was terribly ill the entire time. The only time I felt ok was when we disembarked at our destinations. Come to find out, I had an ear infection and was miserable through the entire trip. Needless to say, I don't want to go on another cruise.

No not so far.But I just cannot how I was conned by a guy pointing a red thing in the tyers in my scooter made me got down and and took away the pouch I was bnending down to inspect the red paint poured there by him while the scooter was parked.

Ouch! That sounds like a horrible experience. I've been fortunate when traveling. Am not one to travel on a real regular basis but do go visit our daughter a couple of times a year. Everything I took with me came back home with me and I've never been sick while traveling.
