strange is a good word for it

I had an upset stomach the whole two weeks, i think it's the fat, i dunno. All i know is i came home absolutely craving a cheese burger and an nice cold 32 ounce diet coke, with plenty of ice

This is what I'm worrying will happen to me. I have to eat a low-fat diet, or I become physically ill. Refined sugar and flour tend to do the same. One of the reasons I need a lot of luggage space is that I'll be bringing some provisions with me, but that plan can only take me so far.

It was more likely to be the water, Sky. When I first moved to the south coast from the midlands (And when I moved to Germany and to France), I spent a couple of weeks with an upset stomach. In fact, my stomach is doing cartwheels now because I'm in Bedfordshire.... water that's different to usual can really throw your system and let's face it, you ingest more water than you think.... you wash in it, you drink it, food is cooked in it, cooking utensils are washed in it.... and if you have ice, then that's usually made out of tap water. If I go on holiday, I try to drink bottled water to reduce the shock to my body and ensure that I have a relaxing time, rather than being ill!

That's a good idea. I'm glad you mentioned it. I don't do a lot of traveling, so this is not something I would have thought of.

Happy New Year everyone. I'm waiting with baited breath to meet you all.

Admittedly eating healthy at a con in England isn't always easy. The Ren is a terrific hotel but their pub food certainly isn't low-fat
However, it's only for a few days and you can at least always get a salad. And does your problem with flour mean you have to eat gluten-free? Because you can get delicious gluten-free, low sugar bread and cookies in any supermarket or even at Heathrow.

That sounds like grand fun, but not as much fun as a certain convention in London. (I'm green with envy anyway.)

You'll have to tell us all about it when you get back.
