I am in awe at your travels! I,too, found on my trip to Japan that the food went down easier. I thought it might be the more humid seaside climate because everything felt better.
It sounds like Eric has certainly turned the corner and I hope you have some pix to post on your safari. Enjoy this time...you and Eric certainly deserve it!

Those first trips are a big step forward. I had a lot of trepidation about my first trip out of town ( to a family function in Montreal ). I wondered how I would eat on the plane and once I got to my hotel. Like you guys I took a lot of Boost as well as a thermos of soup on the plane. Since then I have been to Las Vegas, Jamaica, and New York City and managed to survive and have a good time on each trip. Next stop...Maui!
Keep on truckin,
