Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / April 2006Travel question
dh has a 2 week trip to Thailand coming up. Although we have travelled around Europe and the states we havent been anywhere quite so exotic before so I wanted to run a list by you guys to see if we've forgotten anything. The weather could be wet but it will be hot, this week its a max of 33C (92F) and min of 25 C (78F) and showery. Its the start of dengue fever season and apparently the mossies bite in the day so he will need long sleeves Thanks :) To pack: clothes - obviously! raincoat umbrella meds upset tummy remedies painrelievers bite reliever cream mosquito repellant cream suncream travel plug moneybelt books passport lol Things that should have been done: travel innoculations informed credit card company of plans so they dont put a fraud lock on the card. phone numbers of bank cc company. photocopy of passport. set up with a webmail account so we can email each other. Anything else?  SignatureSarah ******************************************* If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? This won't help in your packing but I wanted to let you know. A guy I used to work with used to travel to Thailand every year (his wife was Thai). He said almost without fail he ended up with bronchitis. The last year that I knew he went he ended up with walking pneumonia (sp?). He never would have realized it was anything different if he hadn't had a surgery scheduled after his trip. They had to delay his surgery to treat it. > dh has a 2 week trip to Thailand coming up.

Thanks for letting me know :) dh has asthma so I will certainly remind him to be alert for any symptoms, especially as the area he is going to is very very polluted. > This won't help in your packing but I wanted to let you know.

Thanks Marc. Immodium is something we always carry abroad after a very unfortunate experience dh had in greece :-/ > good packing instructions > http://www.alphalink.com.au/~grum/hints.htm youre right they are good. I particularly note the effect of humidity on cameras as I'm lending him my digi camera. Mind you Katherine dropped it into our tadpoles and it survived so it should be ok. > I hope he has a ball. :) thanks SignatureSarah ******************************************* Six sharp smart sharks. |
