Sea Sickness, bug bites and diarrhea oh my!

Sorry video wont' load for kissing contest, but .....

So first came the bug bites, or maybe it’s sea lice or it could be an allergic reaction? Who knows, we have not quite figured it out. It did however start appearing in Cabo San Lucas. It kinda looked like poison oak at first, yes, unbelievable. There is no poison oak on the coast of Mexico!!!! Arugh, it itches!!
Next, came sea sickness. I had purchased some medication in Cabo that was recommended by a couple of people as the end all be all. It didn’t work. However, in their defense, I should have taken it the night before and then again before we started in the morning. I knew it was going to be rough, going from Los Muertos between the Baha peninsula and this island up to La Paz. It was. That coupled with the early morning start, just got me. However, I didn’t throw up, but Brian did. He seems to be able to recover quickly though, and it was just more of a fluke that caused him to be sick. Anyhow, I started to come too as we rounded the corner on the home stretch to La Paz. Arugh, crackers and water for me.
What was I saying, when in Mexico, eat, drink and experience the culture? I think I went overboard. I don’t know if it was the Tres Leche ice milk, the crappy weird quesilledia thing or the stale, overcooked mushroom pizza that did it, but I am still hurting. No dinner for me and straight to bed, well between runs to the litter box. MeOUCH. Arugh, this sucks. Hey, but I’m cruising man! I am sure I’ll acclimate soon. Anyways, it is a small price to pay, and hey, maybe I’ll start losing some weight.
Your fat, smelly, itchy Kat :0
