Not yet. He leaves for India on this next Friday for two weeks. Was getting the "stocking stuffers" together as a Christmas thing. He's been on the probiotics since Christmas Day.

Happy New Year, annhig. Back from Cuba, which we adored - and didn't use any of our meds, except bug itch cream. We always travel with carry on only (even in varied climates, or when we have elegant events), so our med kit is a mini size :)

Happy new year to you all. Crosschech looking forward to your TR. Cuba/Zimbabwe maybe end of '17.
NP wishing your DH an enlightening India. There's only two things that happen to folks who do India. Either they are hooked on or let it off the hook to say never again. I'm sure he'll be safe and secure, set to brave it again.

But since he is planning on spending about 10 to 12 hours a day working, his trip to India is pretty much confined to the JW Marriott and the IBM building, and rides between them (about 4 miles but up to and hour and a half by taxi). I suspect he will return having not seen India and hardly even knowing that's where he was-- period. He is not looking forward to this. By the way, his trip was planned for three "big bosses" in his firm, but his immediate boss died of a heart attack at 49 last month -- stress from the job, they figure. Peter was asked (told) to go in his place since he is the only one with the IT knowledge for what they will be doing. Essentially he's now inherited the high stress job without the title of position.
