I'm so sorry you were ill over your vacation. What bad luck that your husband had a mishap too. I feel so bad for you, and I hope your can triple your fun on your next trip; you really deserve it!

A few years ago, I came down with a terrible eye infection (both eyes) on my flight to Aruba. By the time a I arrived, I looked terrible and felt worse. The hotel doctor was absolutely wonderful, the cab driver who took me to the pharmacy couldn't have been nicer (he waited for the 1/2 hour it took to fill my prescription and didn't want to charge me any extra - I gave him a very nice tip). Although I couldn't stand being in the sun for the first couple of days, I was very grateful for the excellent care I received.

Later, we were changing insurance companies and they needed paperwork signed from every doctor we'd seen over the previous two years, and that included the doctor in Aruba. I thought there was no way I was going to find that doctor. Luckily, I had saved my prescription bottle, and had his name. I called the hotel, and they gave me his number. I called him, and he was on the golf course, lol. He said he'd call his secretary and ask her to fax the info I needed. Of all the doctors I needed to contact, he was, by far, the quickest to get the info back to me.
