Last Saturday we attended the required Travel and Medical Issues Course in preperation for the trip to China. The fun part was finally getting to meet four of the six other couples that we will be travelling with. They were all very eager to share their stories of meeting their daughters and give advice for making the trip easier (e.g. don't fly coach).
The bad part was the description of stomach ailments we could potentially experiance. Monique, the China Program Director, tenderly described one trip where she was sidelined for three days with her "stomach on fire" like she has never experianced before or since. The take away was: Don't drink the water.
Of personal concern, they advised us to give up caffine before travelling. I am not sure I can do that.
