Nothing can ruin a vacation like getting sick.
Feeling under the weather far from home is no fun, at best. You may miss activities, or find yourself at the end of the mule train having to keep moving even though you'd rather be in bed asleep. There is no way to guarantee perfect health on tour, but there are tricks of the trade every traveler should know that give you the best shot at staying healthy when you're on the road.
