Like many travelers, John Flinn routinely falls ill before big trips. What’s the cause? Inoculations? Hypochondria? “My current theory is that the pressure of pre-trip preparations is the culprit,” he writes in the San Francisco Chronicle. “Combing the Internet for a good air fare, making hotel reservations, reading the fine print on foreign rental car contracts, altering those hotel reservations, arranging for a dog sitter, seeing a cheaper air fare advertised in the Sunday paper - the stress of all these things can sabotage your immune system.” Also in the Chronicle: A writer ties the knot on the Greek island of Samos and is given away by the mayor of Pithagorio.
