StanleyandGus Posted August 3, 2022 #26 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I’m so glad you started your cruise report early- let us know how the packing situation is. I know how to pack, but I can’t seem to actually As an ex-pharmacist, I totally agree about the OTCs! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted August 3, 2022 Author #27 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) As a happily ever after retired CRNA, we take a “sample” version of CVS stock. Now our prescription drugs will be added later but we have and not limited to: pepto bismol benadryl immodium sinus tylenol tums tylenol ibuprofen visine eye wash neosporin blistex polymyxin eye drops calamine lotion ampicillin amoxicillin zithromax zantac zurtec bandaids ace wrap gauze q-tips 4 x 4s cotton balls But most importantly travel insurance. Now I can replace all our clothes. But there is something about a comfy bathing suit. So those are in other carryon. We have to fit this into 2 suitcases plus the shoes we have (12 pair between us), and must weigh under 60 pounds per spouse to fly. Oh yes. We have a nifty hand held travel scale. The weight limit on suitcases is my husband’s limit. I lug the carryons till we drop them off at airport checkin.

megs193 Posted August 3, 2022 #28 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Did the concierge send you the entertainment schedule for the week? I noticed it said make your reservations for shows in your cruise planner which is no longer an option. Will the concierge make them for you in advance? Thanks!

Rare Lionesss Posted August 3, 2022 Author #33 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Well. Being in the medical field. And realizing antibiotics are not to be taken lightly we have his guidelines on which to take in case. The fees for doctor visit on board is not cheap. When we return from vacation if we had to take an antibiotic we schedule a doctors visit to make sure we are treat the appropriate ailment. And it is resolved or resolving. ie. urinary tract infection. (Been there) otitis media as examples. Also. um Have many friends in the profession. Drug reps, Doctors. We practically get everything as a freebie. The only thing we have to pay for is calamine lotion, visine and eye wash. It seems everything gets pitched before it is used because it expires. Over kill Maybe. But if you ever need immodium (sp) and do not have. Your *hit out of luck. 😜 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our family doctor is a Family Practioner and we are truly fortunate that he has a great supply chain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted August 4, 2022 #42 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Smart thinking of bringing your pharmacy. Better off to have it if you need it than trying to search somewhere to find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted August 4, 2022 Author #47 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Our final “Before we leave things to do” list. Now in May I actually felt bad that the spouse had more to do on his list. So this year we decided to let luck be our lady and we selected from two papers marked “A” or “B” which list you would have to complete all tasks. LIST “A” go to post office stop mail get gas in car check oil and washer fluid get turtle feeder fish stop to get beer and snacks for sitter (frigerator already stocked) bring lunch home shut water off to outside water plants empty dishwasher take out trash put luggage tags on take suitcases down put all suitcases in car put EZ pass in car for turnpike stop newspaper complete airline info print boarding pass Get passports - COVID cards from safe Print EMed test results LIST. “ B” take shower dry hair get dressed eat lunch ( IF WIFEY WINS THEN) Curl hair apply makeup select jewelry to take. In all fairness since spouse always lets me go first. I let him select first. DRUMROLL o o o o o o o o o AWE. HE GOT “ A” I am the lucky one as he mosy’s off. o o o o o o o o ONE DAY HE WILL FIGURE THIS OUT O O O O O But in all honesty. He would have done list “A” anyway. Good husband. ❤️ 2 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
