Hi there, could someone correct the following story about bad holiday, which I have written.
Thanks
Last year my family and I stayed at the Beach Hotel in Italy. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. In a couple of days I fell ill with stomach bug. First I had a stomach-ache only then I felt sick. The following day I brought my dinner up in the toilet. During the night the pain was getting worse my mother decided to call the doctor. Fortunately, I did not have to be hospitalized.I was given some medicines and it eased my pain. Doctor also put me on a diet and I had to stay in bed.
It wasn´t all what happened. On the way back to the airport our bus broke down so we were stuck on the highway almost 2 hours and missed our departure. When we finally got to the airport our other flight was held up for 5 hours. “How bad can this holiday get?” I said to myself.
Before travelling abroad we took out the travel insurance which covered Medical Expenses, Missed departure and Travel delay.

Hi, my try below
Last year, my family and I went to the Beach Hotel in Italy. The service was excellent, and the food delicious. But in a couple of days, I fell ill with a stomach bug. Firstly, I had a stomach-ache only after which I felt sick. The following day, I throw my dinner up in the toilet. During the night, the pain was getting worse so my mother decided to call the doctor. Fortunately, I did not have to be hospitalized. I was just given some medicine and the pain eased. Doctor also put me on a diet, and also, I had to stay in bed.
It wasn't all what happened. On the way back to the airport, our bus broke down so we were strained for almost 2 hours what caused missing our departure. When we finally got to the airport, our other flight was held up for 5 hours. “How bad can this holiday get?” I said to myself.
Before travelling abroad, we took the travel insurance out, which covered my medical expenses, missed departure and travel delay.
I am not sure I've got the meaning of your the last sentence.

Re: Correct the story
May be I've got the last sentence now, and I would write it as below.
"Before travelling abroad, we'd taken the travel insurance out, which covered my medical expenses, missed departure and travel delay.
