Poor Kristen didn't have a good night last night. She was up most of the night throwing up. The last time Kristen got sick we made the decision to hike out of Kent, CT with the hope that she would get better. As we all know, that turned out to be a very poor decision and Kristen spent the better part of 3 days in the woods being absolutely miserable with giardia. This time around we decided to play it safe and take a zero day at the Hikers Welcome Hostel. This way we could see if she felt better while in town and also have the ability to get her to a doctor if we needed to.

In the morning Kristen was feeling a little better but her stomach was still bothering her a bit. She was able to hold down some chicken fingers for lunch which was a great sign. By dinner time she was really beginning to feel better. The Hikers Welcome Hostel was a great place to rest. We spent most of the day watching TV and visiting with the other hikers.

We plan on hiking out tomorrow. We are definitely glad it seems to have been a food related illness and not something more serious.




Hostels are generally pretty basic. What do you expect for $15 per person?
