Medicine Cabinet must-have's to take?

[Grumpy's Mom]

Unfortunately, we have some in our family (DH and myself) who cannot wear contacts!!

The younger dd does not know how to pack efficiently, and I am sure I will find at least a three months' supply of lenses in her suitcase the night before we go.

Speaking of children - how did your suprise go?

We have not told ours yet and am debating - but the older (17) has a boyfriend, many social and singing engagements, so we are thinking she is going to need some notice - I also am not really sure what I would pick for them for their excursions- so we may tell them around 65 days prior to -- any advice?? Mine are 17 and 13 - both girls.

Bonine(Meclazine) for adults and teens is available for free in a bin outside the Health Center on Deck 1. There is Dramamine, which is recommended for younger children, for sale in one of the shops on board but I would bring it from home, just in case. There is also Pedialyte for sale if all preventative measures fail.

Benadryl could be useful if you meet up with hostile stinging jellyfish or even an Epinephrine kit if you have a history of severe reactions to stinging creatures (or any foods).

For myself, if I get an infection worthy of an antibiotic I prefer to see a doctor and there is one on board. Trip insurance is available through Disney and travel agents which covers most unforseen medical expenses.

Good point, spotdog. Luckily, I do most of my travelling with a doctor so he makes the call. Just hope he never starts asking for my co-pay!
