You may have heard of "altitude sickness" which, I admit, I don't much know about. At one point during our trip a reference to this was attempted (since we were in high elevations) but the phrase came out as "attitude sickness." The name stuck, and the ailment appeared on a couple of occasions.

What causes "attitude sickness"? Being cooped up in the car, having a tiring hike, riding on an extra-bumpy road, etc. In this photo Sarah tries to cover up her exhibition of attitude sickness by hiding behind Choc.
