  • Aches, Pain
    Aspirin, Non-Aspirin, Sleep Aids, Children's, Arthritis, Menstrual, Deep Heating Creams, Urinary
    • Some say that Aspirin taken during a heart attack may lessen the damage the heart --it might not be a bad idea to carry some while traveling. 
    • If you can't sleep on a long airplane flight or in a noisy hotel or lodge, think about using a Sleep Aid
  • Contraceptives & Family Planning
    Condoms, Desensitizers, Ovulation Kits, Pregnancy Tests, Spermicides & Lubricants

    • Since you'll be using shower facilities used by others, you may pick up Athlete's Foot --so bring something along for it just in case!

    Children's, Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Growth Treatments, Hair Spray, Styling Products, Men's Grooming & Color, Hair Appliances.   (more..)
    • If you use a conditioner as well as a shampoo, try using a combined shampoo&conditioner when traveling to cut down on what you have to carry
  • Shower & Body
    Hand Sanitizers, Bar Soap, Bodywash, Face Wash, Children's Bath, Liquid Soap, Towelettes, Powder
    • Always have a couple of Towelettes handy in case you buy some sloppy souvlaki on a street in Athens --or one of those pesky pigeons poops on your clothing (or head)!
    • Never assume that a hotel or lodge will have soap or shampoo available --always carry your own
      
  • Deodorants, Antiperspirants
    Stick, Roll-On, Aerosol, Creams & Pads
    • Since you may not carry aerosol cans on board ANY airplane (neither in checked nor carry-on luggage), use Stick, Roll-On, or Creams & Pads

    Sunscreen, Sunless, Children's, Lip Balm, Tanning Oils, After Sun
    • Sunscreen is one of the most overlooked travel necessities.  No matter where you travel in the world, no matter the climate, sun protection is necessary while outdoors.  "Soft days" in Ireland (drizzly days, that is) can fool you into thinking you're not getting much damaging UV radiation.  In Australia, the ozone layer is particularly thin and sun protection is VITAL.

  • Fragrance for Him & Her
    Hot Gift Sets, Women's, Men's
    • If you are on a trip with me, DO NOT wear a fragrance!  In close quarters on a plane, train, or bus --or safari vehicle fragrances that are otherwise pleasant may get quite annoying --and it's even worse for those with more sensitive noses than mine.  Use a fragrance for a night at the club in Paris or Berlin, but not on a travel day!
    • Fragrances can attract mosquitoes, tsetse flies, and other annoying insects.
