– Always have your medications with you in your carry on, to ensure that you can continue taking your medications on a regularly timed schedule and not have to worry if your checked luggage is lost or delayed.
– For long flights, I would recommend getting up intermittently and walking up and down the aisle to prevent development of blood clots in your legs.
– I would consider obtaining travel medical insurance, especially with international destinations.
– For planned tours at your destination, I would recommend drinking plenty of water, preferably bottled water in certain areas.
– And lastly make sure you enjoy yourself immensely on your trip!
Safe travels! Till next time.
