Bathing suit? Check.
Passports? Check.
Medicine? Err…that’s where preparing for your trip can become complicated.You need to make some room in your luggage for the basics to stay healthy on the road. Here are the essentials that we recommend to have with you
- Your prescriptions
- Diarrhea medicine (Imodium or Pepto-Bismol)
- Antacid
- Antihistamine
- Motion sickness medicine
- Cough drops, cough suppressant, or expectorant
- Decongestant
- Pain and fever medicine (acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen)
- Mild laxative
- Mild sedative or sleep aid
- 1% hydrocortisone cream
Supplies to prevent illness or injury:
- Hand sanitizer or antibacterial hand wipes
- Insect repellent
- Sunscreen Sunglasses and hat
- Earplugs
This is just the basic kit, but you really need to think about your own personal issues and the likelihood that you will need something important abroad.
