rhohea Posted September 17, 2013 #52 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I guess it depends on how much shopping you do ;) Lyn, You know me better than that.Small suitcase - not in my vocabulary:D Maybe 2 large cases.

Wendy The Wanderer Posted September 17, 2013 #54 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Don't forget a basic medical kit--bandaids, ointment, etc. We take a lot of medicines, especially pills, so use those tiny ziplock jeweler bags to organize each day's pills. Once taken, you have no bulky pill containers to carry home as you discard the ziplocks after use. Bring extra Rx's in case you take prescription meds. And always keep prescription meds in your carry-on. I always carry my prescription meds in their original containers, since if there's any trouble at a border, you are covered. Sometimes I take vitamins in ziplocks, but mostly I still use the original containers, just so that I can prove what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatKat in Ca. Posted September 17, 2013 #55 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Here in the US we get a sheet listing our prescriptions that I travel with; It has the dosage as well as all the other information the bottles have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have that too. But some countries want you to carry your drugs in their original containers. When we cross into the States we do it both ways.

When we cross into the States we do it both ways. I had a problem with the security people with my RXs in their original containers!!! Never had that problem before or since!! But do always carry them in that way. LuAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josephone Posted September 17, 2013 #59 Share Posted September 17, 2013 WE always take a duffle bag that is empty. We use it to carry dirty clothes home. Then there is room for treasures in our suitcases. We also try to remember that sometimes it pays to buy a suitcase when traveling if you find a spectacular 'thingie' you must have!

mountain grandma Posted September 18, 2013 #60 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Great idea. Where did you get the small ziplocs? Walmart also has them for a very low price. They are in the Pharmacy area. Billie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmberCascades Posted September 18, 2013 #70 Share Posted September 18, 2013 We brought whatever otc meds we occasionally use at home (in small original bottles), headache, seasick/nausea, sleep aids, allergy meds, cold meds, first aid kit....we ended up using all of them - even a bandaid. I was very glad to have them with us and not have to worry about looking to buy some on the ship or on land. I also brought some scotch tape - I think because someone on CC recommended it. I had no idea what I would need it for. Then one of my small moisturizers (small travel size but made of glass) bounced off the marble counter and onto the tile floor and cracked. Hey no problem! I just taped that thing up and no leaks all week. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loum140 Posted September 18, 2013 #71 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Someone on CC advised bringing small magnets to attach paperwork (invitations, receipt, notes, friends' stateroom numbers, etc.) to the walls and get all that paper off the desk top. Now I never travel without them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I never travel without them! The magnet idea is fantastic! In ten days on Nautica we had a stack of ships' paperwork alone that would choke a hungry mule. Virtually smothered every flat surface we had. We also had two sets of the small Bulgari shampoo/conditioner bottles (plastic I believe and we didn't light-finger the set we didn't use dang-nabbit) in our bath. We donate extra travel toiletries to our church and I wonder if it would have raised some eyebrows? Naaaw, probably not in the NorCal Outback where we live...

They have an entire section devoted to the stuff. I bolded the items on your list that I saw at my local store today. They probably have many other items on your list elsewhere in the store that I didn't notice. If they don't have gallon Ziploc bags, try your local supermarket, Costco, or BJs Wholesale Club.
