“I said, ‘So, did anybody notice I was throwing up?'”

Then we had to disembark from the ship, and we had made reservations for a hotel for that night because we didn’t wanna have to take a chance of missing a flight if we got off the ship late or had problems with transfers or whatever. So, we stayed overnight at a hotel and we needed some supper, but we didn’t wanna go anywheres and there was a 7-Eleven next door. And so we went there and got sandwiches for our supper, which I think probably was a very bad idea because the next morning, we had to catch a U — Uber at five o’ clock in the morning and when I woke up about quarter after four, I was so sick. Oh my gosh, I was sick, sick as a dog. And I had the dry heaves, and, because there was nothing in my stomach. And, uh, but we had to go to the airport in Orlando to catch our flight. 

And, uh, so we went and I drank some water and ate a graham cracker, and, hoping that it would help and we got to the airport and were s- — we got through TSA and all that foolishness and were just waiting. And my husband, and my son-in-law were gonna go get us some breakfast and bring it back ’cause we had some things we were keeping track of, luggage. And while — just after they had walked away, I said to my daughter, I said, “I think I’m gonna throw up. I- I’m j- — I feel sick.” She said, “Well, there’s a trash can right over there,” just kind of offhand. She was kind of joking.

Well, I was not joking and I ran over and I just barely made it in time and I threw up in the trashcan multiple times. It was just water, mostly. But anyway, I threw up in the trashcan, then came back and I said, “So, did anybody notice I was throwing up?” She said, “Oh yeah, there was about 100 people walked by, and some people looked sympathetic and some people were like, grossed out.” So, I said, “Well, at least they wouldn’t know who it was that did it because I had my head in the trash can, so they won’t recognize me later.”
