Q1: Is health a priority for you when traveling? In what sense? Food? Fitness? Disease considerations? #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
replying to @FrankDiCesare @FrankDiCesare I'm in Ocala--not too far away. It's sunny here--for now. #GenXTravel

Q1. Is health a priority for you when traveling? In what sense? Food? Fitness? Disease consideration? #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
A1: I don't think much about health considerations when traveling beyond the normal precautions (required vaccines, is the water safe to drink). #GenXTravel
GenXTraveler
A1. I'm not sure I make it any more of a priority than any other time but I certainly don't throw it out the window either. #GenXTravel
FrankDiCesare
A1) All of the above. I like to at least try to eat healthy when abroad. I walk as much as possible, especially when I don't eat healthy, if you know what I mean. #GenXTravel #LoveCarbs

Who knew I was a #bathroomdesign expert? And yet, here I am, quoted in a story on inspirational bathrooms: https://t.co/kQAWNLJqZ6 BTW, #genxtravel Taking baths--a great way to stay healthy while traveling. @epicpresence

replying to @ankit1989 @ankit1989 Hi Ankit, Good to see you again. How is India now--pretty hot? #GenXTravel
FrankDiCesare
replying to @VoyagerVicki @VoyagerVicki Not sure if the rain is heading your way. #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
replying to @FrankDiCesare @FrankDiCesare What's a summer day in Florida without rain sometime? #GenXTravel
ankit1989
replying to @VoyagerVicki @VoyagerVicki A1 Prefer food on time and daily exercise or practice Yoga while traveling #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
Q2: Are there any destinations you have avoided due to health considerations? #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
replying to @ankit1989 @ankit1989 That's always a goal of mine--yoga when traveling. But usually never happens. Walking is about the only exercise I do on the road. #GenXTravel

Q2. Are there any destinations you have avoided due to health considerations? #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
A2: No. I wouldn't go somewhere with a disease epidemic like the Ebola scare in western Africa a few years ago. But, I wasn't planning on going there then anyway. #GenXTravel
GenXTraveler
A2. I cant think of any I have completely avoided because of health concerns. #GenXTravel

replying to @epic7travel @epic7travel @SteriPEN @nalgene @nuunhydration Every time I've traveled with a SteriPEN I've never really used it (usually didn't need it like I thought I would). But, I must get one again for future travel. #GenXTravel

replying to @VoyagerVicki @VoyagerVicki Walking on the unknown streets is best way to explore the city #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
replying to @FrankDiCesare @FrankDiCesare I just spent the fall in Mexico last year. It depends on where you go. I didn't have any problems. I was mostly in the center of the country and CDMX for all of Nov. #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
Q3: Do you have foods you avoid when traveling beyond your normal dietary restrictions? Which ones? Why? #GenXTravel
dailysuitcase
replying to @epic7travel @epic7travel @SteriPEN @nalgene @nuunhydration I actually prefer the electrolyte tablets sold in @REI's first-aid section--they aren't filled with as many chemicals as other products, like the one you mention. #GenXtravel
VoyagerVicki
A3: No, I mostly eat what I want overseas including street food (if it's vegetarian). #GenXTravel
GenXTraveler
Q3. Do you have foods you avoid when traveling beyond your normal dietary restrictions? Which ones? Why? #GenXTravel
FrankDiCesare
A3) Not really. I mostly travel to urban areas. So long as beef and pork are cooked adequately, I'm fine. #GenXTravel
GenXTraveler
A3. Depending upon where I am, I may avoid uncooked fruits and veggies. Actually, I avoid uncooked fish anywhere. #GenXTravel
ankit1989
replying to @VoyagerVicki @VoyagerVicki A2 I avoid destinations because of weather not for diseases #GenXTravel
GenXTraveler
replying to @epic7travel @epic7travel @SteriPEN @nalgene @nuunhydration Good thinking! I don't do much hiking so @SteriPEN doesn't really occur to me but I should pay more attention to how much local water I consume in the form of bottled water. I don't drink bottled water at all at home. #GenXTravel

replying to @ankit1989 @ankit1989 I haven't even really done that. I went to Russia in the middle of winter 2 years ago--something I never thought I'd do. #GenXTravel

replying to @GenXTraveler @GenXTraveler A1. Yes. I have shellfish allergy and prone to blood clots. #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
replying to @GenXTraveler @GenXTraveler @epic7travel @SteriPEN @nalgene @nuunhydration Same here. Except when I'm traveling in hot destinations, I like having cold water too refresh. Carrying treated water around all day doesn't allow for that then. #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
Q4: Have you traveled anywhere health was the focus of your travel? Spa? Yoga retreat? #GenXTravel
VoyagerVicki
A4: No, but I'd like to go to a fitness retreat. I was tentatively planning on that for this year. But, it's doubtful I'll go now. I'll need to wait until next year to do any hard exercise (mountain hiking, jogging, etc.) #GenXTravel

In Mexico, everyone has large bottles of water delivered to their homes. Consequently, I was able to use that water to carry around during the day for safety and not buying bottles or needing sterilization methods. #GenXTravel
GenXTraveler
replying to @VoyagerVicki @VoyagerVicki @ankit1989 I bet it was pretty there at that time of year, assuming there was snow. #GenXTravel
FrankDiCesare
A4) Fall in New Hampshire is a great mental health break - quiet, peaceful, etc. #GenXTravel
