My Little Home-body

McKenna is absolutely a home-body!
No fail, if we go on a trip she will get sick and not sleep! She has proved this time and time again. The latest example was a week ago we went to St. George with some friends for the long weekend. When we left our house McKenna was feeling just fine, she was acting normal, no complaints. She slept for a little while in the car, not nearly as long as I was hoping, but it was still okay. As soon as we got to the condo in St. George and set up the pack-n-play she grabbed my hand and said go while leading me to the door. All she wanted to do was go home!
That night she got really sick, came down with a very high fever and only slept for about two hours. Needless to say Dave and I didn't get anymore sleep than she did. The next day the only time she would act even remotely normal is if we had just given her ibprofen and all she wanted was Dave. That night she slept 4 hours, better, but still not great. Oh, and she wouldn't eat anything, she would drink water, but she absolutely refused to eat! The last night we were there she slept about 5 hours, but as soon as the medicine wore off her fever was back!
As soon as we got home she slept like a dream and her fever disappeared! I don't know what to do about this little trip problem, any suggestions?
