Good Grief ,I have the flu.

Yes,what is it about me getting sick before and on my last two vacations? Could it be lack of sleep,the extra running around we do before leaving, or just timing due to I usually travel during the peak months of some crazy virus season. I have been sick with the flu 2 times in the last 4 years. Both during my Hawaii trips recently.I formerly would get the flu really bad twice a year. Then 4 years ago I stopped getting the flu shot.Go figure.
I coughed and blew my nose for the 5 hour flight over to Oahu. People around me were so kind as I kept apologizing.
I checked in to the airport hotel and was so looking forward to sleep.
Upon arrival I was greeted by a cockroach the size of a quarter in the bathroom.ok, This is a tropical climate,no worries,I just hope you travel alone.
A little hungry and thirsty I make  my way to the vending machine and purchase a Gatorade and a bag of Funyuns.I had some leftover jerky to complete my snack.
I was freezing cold.Then it started.The horrible sweating and chills. The planes flew over non stop until 12:45 am. The partiers in the courtyard until 1 am. I was wishing for a drive by to put me out of my misery.
I mentally took  myself to the beach.Fast forward to next day. Picked up rental car.Added a beach chair,a blanket,a cute LeSortsac coinpurse and a new beach mat for $13.00 to my travel needs at the Goodwill. I always wanted to stop here to check it out. It was fun.Target sends all there overstock here.New tags on everything. Clothes,swim, towels....Etc.
Next stop was Honokohau Bay. I sat in the sun on my beach chair for about 45 minutes and waded in the water to see the turtles. It was good.
Next was "Bite Me". This is in the marina and sells fresh fish and has a great restaurant.I sat and forced down the fish and chips,I needed to eat.It tasted wonderful I wish I would have been hungry. Watched the first quarter of Superbowl then off to Safeway and the natural food store to buy a few groceries.It is hard to buy food when you are sick.All "I wanted was chicken noodle soup and Kraft macaroni and cheese.That is what I bought.
A 20 minute drive later I arrive at my destination.
Wow is all I can say. Bamboo Hideaway
I stay up to watch the sunset and am asleep by 6:30pm.Another night of the chills and sweating.Ughhh.. Feeling better this morning.I am staying down today. Still achey and tired.

I was greeted this morning by Peaberry,he is a fun loving lab puppy the owners have. He ran off with my slipper and I had to chase him down to retrieve it.
All of a sudden I feel warm,as I have been freezing cold since I have been here.
