Naked Women & Crazy Behavior in the Air!

I just read two insane stories about a twenty-something Playboy centerfold trying to open an exit door to jump out of the plane in flight. She apparently forgot her medication. Then Delta had a twenty-something strip naked while in flight and caused a huge disruption. Both women were taken into custody and may or may not have charges filed against them. What is going on? Is our society that out of control that sitting on a flight for a few hours is beyond being able to maintain personal control and respect for those around us? There is a documentary out called "I AM" and these two stories tell me that we all need to see it and take the message to heart. Re-examine our priorities... reduce the stress inducing people, things and aspirations, and get back to healthy living that revolves not around celebrity and money, but around loving, supportive relationships and our service to others. I don't know, is it just me or is it out-of-control-crazy?

Certainly, if you're on medication don't forget them and make sure they are in your carry-on. Dress in layers and perhaps others will stop you before your get down to your birthday suit!

PACKING

I like to lay out everything I am packing on my bed & take digital photos, which I keep in my phone as well as email to myself. Then I type the itemized list & print out 2 copies; one I keep with my travel documents in my purse & the other in my suitcase. If either of those go MIA then I always have a copy in my computer. The list speeds the process of notifying the airline and insurance company if your suitcase gets lost or stolen. Don’t forget to make a list of your medications including name of meds, purpose, doctor’s name and contact information, and prescription number. When packing to go home check everything off as you pack it so nothing gets left behind.

TRAVELING WITH MEDICATION

Don’t carry your entire bottle of prescription medication with you. Go to a craft supply store and buy small baggies or  the snack size ziplocks from the grocery store and put the required number of dosages plus 3… just incase you miss a flight or get delayed a day or so. Photo copy the prescription label and insert into the baggie. Then make a list of all medications including the dosage and strength. Keep this list in a safe place incase you need to replace medication while traveling, or are traveling to a country that can duplicate the medication without a prescription and is cheaper to obtain. I know people who travel to Mexico on a regular basis to stock up on antibiotics and claim to save hundreds of dollars a year. Another time saver: package pills by day/doses. Say you take  2 medications and a multi every morning put all in a baggie and label AM. If you have afternoon, dinner or bedtime dosages label the baggies so it makes sense to you. I use AM (upon waking), N (afternoon), D (dinner time) and PM (bedtime).
