Packing / What to Bring
- Wear easy-fitting clothes and slip-on shoes. This will save you time at the security gates.
- Bring along a scarf or travel blanket to avoid using the airline blankets.
- Bring a travel first aid kit: ibuprofen (or other pain killer), decongestant, Nyquil, bandages, Hydrocortisone cream, Pepto-Bismol, Imodium, Neosporin, antibacterial wipes, Benadryl and bug spray. Please check with your doctor to see what works best for you.
- If at all possible, carry all of your medications in the bottles in which they were prescribed.
- If you can’t afford to lose it, don’t pack it. Put it in your carryon or leave it at home.
- Pack a change of clothes in your carry-on in case your luggage is delayed. Pack extra underwear. Also, pack the following in your carry-on: toothbrush, toothpaste, prescription medications, deodorant.
- Carry the travel size packs of wet wipes and tissues. Toilet paper is not a given in many parts of the world. Remove the cardboard tube, some tubes can be flattened. Flatten the roll and take it with you. Do the same with a roll of paper towels.
- I always carry a few Ziploc bags. You'll be surprised by their many uses. Bring bags of different sizes. Believe me, these will come in handy.
- Don't try to break in a new pair of shoes on vacation, you will be miserable. Take those well worn flappers that get along with your bunion, you'll be glad you did.
- Don’t forget extra batteries and charger for your electronics (camera, laptop, cell phone).
- Above all mix and match and pack lightly!
