Sick and Tired of being sick and tired
Well, I can't exactly say this has been the best day of the trip. We woke up early to meet our tour guide in the lobby at 8am, but Jessica wasn't feeling well. We made it to picking up the first passengers at another hotel when she started throwing up. I knew we'd never make an all day sightseeing tour. So they turned around and took us back to The …
