GUWonder has not been heard from since his post more than 24 hours ago. Hope he is still with us. 
Let us know that you got home safely.
I have been through this type of experience coming home from Israel. Became very ill with food poisoning the night before flying. Almost passed out while being questioned by the airport security people in Tel Aviv. Bad timing to start sweating and turning pale during the interrogation. Fortunately, they really believed me when I said I was sick (almost demonstrated it in a very dramatic fashion). The trip home was very long. Fortunately, I was not contagious.

>>> I am so sorry, but ROFL...
Did you pack your own bags? Come back with a nice, colorful response.
LOL
I got sick on the plane coming back from South Africa. Might have been food poisoning, I don't know.
As for IATA, no, thank goodness, have never used it, and am happy for that. The insurance coverage is quite good, to say the least. The only one I could have, and didn't use, was a provision for baggage loss. I think it is $100US a day, stupid Delta lost our bags(Sabena code share flight) to Brussels, had them back in time for the flight to Frankfurt(the following day). If I had gone shopping, could have been reimbursed as to a $100 US.
Oh well. The only serious loss was not being able to swim in the nice pool but I will also say, as they gave us some basic toiletries, it was nice not to have to drag those bags to/from the hotel
. Was going to a convention in Frankfurt, so lot's of bags.
I hope that our sick friend is OK and we are waiting for another post. God speed.
