I am new here and on day 6 of a ??? day fast

Hi there everyone!

A week ago my sister called me and told me she would be starting a fast in two days. I said, "Wow, I could NEVER do that, but good luck to YOU!" That didn't seem all that supportive so on the first day of her fast I fasted too. I have been fasting every day since to support her. My experience has been very good so far, hers has not. She has been experiencing chest pain and depression-hopefully she will post soon and explain better

I have no goals for this fast since I didn't plan or to any preparations before the fast. I am hoping to lose the ringing in my ears (not sure if that is possible-it was caused by too much medication from my doctor). I also want to lose weight.

I do have a question: Would it be advisable to take a vacation while fasting? The vacation includes a flight, resting on a beach in the hot sun under an umbrella, and dealing with my Dad which can be difficult emotionally. Not fasting while on vacation would mean breaking the fast on day 16 and I really do not want to do that!!! Any suggestions?

Thanks,
